From 81990fbdd18b9cfdc93dc221ff3250f81468aed8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Moore Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 10:51:15 -0400 Subject: selinux: Fix an uninitialized variable BUG/panic in selinux_secattr_to_sid() At some point during the 2.6.27 development cycle two new fields were added to the SELinux context structure, a string pointer and a length field. The code in selinux_secattr_to_sid() was not modified and as a result these two fields were left uninitialized which could result in erratic behavior, including kernel panics, when NetLabel is used. This patch fixes the problem by fully initializing the context in selinux_secattr_to_sid() before use and reducing the level of direct context manipulation done to help prevent future problems. Please apply this to the 2.6.27-rcX release stream.
