[Patch] kernel memory leak fix for af_unix datagram getpeersec patch

From: Catherine Zhang
Date: Wed Aug 02 2006 - 02:33:51 EST


Hi, all,

Enclosed please find the updated patch incorporating comments from
Stephen and Dave.

Again thanks for your help!

From: cxzhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the original
unix datagram getpeersec patch. Instead of creating a security context each
time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the security context when the
receiver requests it.

This new design requires modification of the current unix_getsecpeer_dgram
LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely, secid_to_secctx and
release_secctx. The former retrieves the security context and the latter
releases it. A hook is required for releasing the security context because
it is up to the security module to decide how that's done. In the case of
Selinux, it's a simple kfree operation.
