<title>apparmor: fix loop detection used in conflicting attachment resolution</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a88db916b8c77552f49f7d9f8744095ea01a268f ]

Conflicting attachment resolution is based on the number of states
traversed to reach an accepting state in the attachment DFA, accounting
for DFA loops traversed during the matching process. However, the loop
counting logic had multiple bugs:

 - The inc_wb_pos macro increments both position and length, but length
   is supposed to saturate upon hitting buffer capacity, instead of
   wrapping around.
 - If no revisited state is found when traversing the history, is_loop
   would still return true, as if there was a loop found the length of
   the history buffer, instead of returning false and signalling that
   no loop was found. As a result, the adjustment step of
   aa_dfa_leftmatch would sometimes produce negative counts with loop-
   free DFAs that traversed enough states.
 - The iteration in the is_loop for loop is supposed to stop before
   i = wb-&gt;len, so the conditional should be &lt; instead of &lt;=.

This patch fixes the above bugs as well as the following nits:
 - The count and size fields in struct match_workbuf were not used,
   so they can be removed.
 - The history buffer in match_workbuf semantically stores aa_state_t
   and not unsigned ints, even if aa_state_t is currently unsigned int.
 - The local variables in is_loop are counters, and thus should be
   unsigned ints instead of aa_state_t's.

[ Upstream commit 6c055e62560b958354625604293652753d82bcae ]

WB_HISTORY_SIZE was defined to be a value not a power of 2, despite a
comment in the declaration of struct match_workbuf stating it is and a
modular arithmetic usage in the inc_wb_pos macro assuming that it is. Bump
WB_HISTORY_SIZE's value up to 32 and add a BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2
line to ensure that any future changes to the value of WB_HISTORY_SIZE
respect this requirement.

Replace the (secctx,seclen) pointer pair with a single
lsm_context pointer to allow return of the LSM identifier
along with the context and context length. This allows
security_release_secctx() to know how to release the
context. Callers have been modified to use or save the
returned data from the new structure.

security_secid_to_secctx() and security_lsmproc_to_secctx()
will now return the length value on success instead of 0.

Add a new lsm_context data structure to hold all the information about a
"security context", including the string, its size and which LSM allocated
the string. The allocation information is necessary because LSMs have
different policies regarding the lifecycle of these strings. SELinux
allocates and destroys them on each use, whereas Smack provides a pointer
to an entry in a list that never goes away.

Update security_release_secctx() to use the lsm_context instead of a
(char *, len) pair. Change its callers to do likewise.  The LSMs
supporting this hook have had comments added to remind the developer
that there is more work to be done.

The BPF security module provides all LSM hooks. While there has yet to
be a known instance of a BPF configuration that uses security contexts,
the possibility is real. In the existing implementation there is
potential for multiple frees in that case.

Currently the dfa state machine is limited by its default, next, and
check tables using u16. Allow loading of u32 tables, and if u16 tables
are loaded map them to u32.

The number of states allowed does not increase to 2^32 because the
base table uses the top 8 bits of its u32 for flags. Moving the flags
into a separate table allowing a full 2^32 bit range wil be done in
a separate patch.
