From: John Johansen Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:53:56 +0000 (-0700) Subject: UBUNTU: SAUCE: AppArmor: Allow dfa backward compatibility with broken userspace X-Git-Url: http://git.alex.org.uk UBUNTU: SAUCE: AppArmor: Allow dfa backward compatibility with broken userspace Allow broken Lucid userspace tools to load policy, on Maverick kernel. The fix for http://launchpad.net/bugs/581525 blocks Lucid tools from loading policy, this provides compatibility with Lucid tools without reintroducing the bug. The apparmor_parser when compiling policy could generate invalid dfas that did not have sufficient padding to avoid invalid references, when used by the kernel. The kernels check to verify the next/check table size was broken meaning invalid dfas were being created by userspace and not caught. To remain compatible with old tools that are not fixed, pad the loaded dfas next/check table. The dfa's themselves are valid except for the high padding for potentially invalid transitions (high bounds error), which have a maximimum is 256 entries. So just allocate an extra null filled 256 entries for the next/check tables. This will guarentee all bounds are good and invalid transitions go to the null (0) state.
