Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> LSM: general protection fault in legacy_parse_param<br /> <br /> The usual LSM hook "bail on fail" scheme doesn&amp;#39;t work for cases where<br /> a security module may return an error code indicating that it does not<br /> recognize an input. In this particular case Smack sees a mount option<br /> that it recognizes, and returns 0. A call to a BPF hook follows, which<br /> returns -ENOPARAM, which confuses the caller because Smack has processed<br /> its data.<br /> <br /> The SELinux hook incorrectly returns 1 on success. There was a time<br /> when this was correct, however the current expectation is that it<br /> return 0 on success. This is repaired.
