NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug-modules-internal package and not the kernel-rt-debug-modules-internal package as distributed by Centos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LSM: general protection fault in legacy_parse_param

The usual LSM hook "bail on fail" scheme doesn't work for cases where a security module may return an error code indicating that it does not recognize an input. In this particular case Smack sees a mount option that it recognizes, and returns 0. A call to a BPF hook follows, which returns -ENOPARAM, which confuses the caller because Smack has processed its data.

The SELinux hook incorrectly returns 1 on success. There was a time when this was correct, however the current expectation is that it return 0 on success. This is repaired.
