SELinux: Fix kernel BUG on empty security contexts.
Setting an empty security context (length=0) on a file will lead to incorrectly dereferencing the type and other fields of the security context structure, yielding a kernel BUG. As a zero-length security context is never valid, just reject all such security contexts whether coming from userspace via setxattr or coming from the filesystem upon a getxattr request by SELinux. Setting a security context value (empty or otherwise) unknown to SELinux in the first place is only possible for a root process (CAP_MAC_ADMIN), and, if running SELinux in enforcing mode, only if the corresponding SELinux mac_admin permission is also granted to the domain by policy. In Fedora policies, this is only allowed for specific domains such as livecd for setting down security contexts that are not defined in the build host policy. [On Android, this can only be set by root/CAP_MAC_ADMIN processes, and if running SELinux in enforcing mode, only if mac_admin permission is granted in policy. In Android 4.4, this would only be allowed for root/CAP_MAC_ADMIN processes that are also in unconfined domains. In current AOSP master, mac_admin is not allowed for any domains except the recovery console which has a legitimate need for it. The other potential vector is mounting a maliciously crafted filesystem for which SELinux fetches xattrs (e.g. an ext4 filesystem on a SDcard). However, the end result is only a local denial-of-service (DOS) due to kernel BUG. This fix is queued for 3.14.] Reproducer: su setenforce 0 touch foo setfattr -n security.selinux foo Caveat: Relabeling or removing foo after doing the above may not be possible without booting with SELinux disabled. Any subsequent access to foo after doing the above will also trigger the BUG.
