ima: Free the entire rule when deleting a list of rules
Create a function, ima_free_rule(), to free all memory associated with an ima_rule_entry. Use the new function to fix memory leaks of allocated ima_rule_entry members, such as .fsname and .keyrings, when deleting a list of rules. Make the existing ima_lsm_free_rule() function specific to the LSM audit rule array of an ima_rule_entry and require that callers make an additional call to kfree to free the ima_rule_entry itself. This fixes a memory leak seen when loading by a valid rule that contains an additional piece of allocated memory, such as an fsname, followed by an invalid rule that triggers a policy load failure: # echo -e "dont_measure fsname=securityfs\nbad syntax" > \ /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak unreferenced object 0xffff9bab67ca12c0 (size 16): comm "bash", pid 684, jiffies 4295212803 (age 252.344s) hex dump (first 16 bytes): 73 65 63 75 72 69 74 79 66 73 00 6b 6b 6b 6b a5 securityfs.kkkk. backtrace: [<00000000adc80b1b>] kstrdup+0x2e/0x60 [<00000000d504cb0d>] ima_parse_add_rule+0x7d4/0x1020 [<00000000444825ac>] ima_write_policy+0xab/0x1d0 [<000000002b7f0d6c>] vfs_write+0xde/0x1d0 [<0000000096feedcf>] ksys_write+0x68/0xe0 [<0000000052b544a2>] do_syscall_64+0x56/0xa0 [<000000007ead1ba7>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Fixes: f1b08bb ("ima: define a new policy condition based on the filesystem name") Fixes: 2b60c0e ("IMA: Read keyrings= option from the IMA policy") Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <[email protected]>
