Konstantin Andreev e30f31434e smack: recognize ipv4 CIPSO w/o categories
[ Upstream commit a158a937d864d0034fea14913c1f09c6d5f574b8 ]

If SMACK label has CIPSO representation w/o categories, e.g.:

| # cat /smack/cipso2
| foo  10
| @ 250/2
| ...

then SMACK does not recognize such CIPSO in input ipv4 packets
and substitues '*' label instead. Audit records may look like

| lsm=SMACK fn=smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb action=denied
|   subject="*" object="_" requested=w pid=0 comm="swapper/1" ...

This happens in two steps:

1) security/smack/smackfs.c`smk_set_cipso
   does not clear NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT
   from (struct smack_known *)skp->smk_netlabel.flags
   on assigning CIPSO w/o categories:

| rcu_assign_pointer(skp->smk_netlabel.attr.mls.cat, ncats.attr.mls.cat);
| skp->smk_netlabel.attr.mls.lvl = ncats.attr.mls.lvl;

2) security/smack/smack_lsm.c`smack_from_secattr
   can not match skp->smk_netlabel with input packet's
   struct netlbl_lsm_secattr *sap
   because sap->flags have not NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT (what is correct)
   but skp->smk_netlabel.flags have (what is incorrect):

| if ((sap->flags & NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT) == 0) {
| 	if ((skp->smk_netlabel.flags &
| 		 NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT) == 0)
| 		found = 1;
| 	break;
| }

This commit sets/clears NETLBL_SECATTR_MLS_CAT in
skp->smk_netlabel.flags according to the presense of CIPSO categories.
The update of smk_netlabel is not atomic, so input packets processing
still may be incorrect during short time while update proceeds.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
