From 3a7c384ffd57ef5fbd95f48edaa2ca4eb3d9f2ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 13:56:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: tcp: unicast_sock should not land outside of TCP stack commit be9f4a44e7d41cee (ipv4: tcp: remove per net tcp_sock) added a selinux regression, reported and bisected by John Stultz selinux_ip_postroute_compat() expect to find a valid sk->sk_security pointer, but this field is NULL for unicast_sock It turns out that unicast_sock are really temporary stuff to be able to reuse part of IP stack (ip_append_data()/ip_push_pending_frames()) Fact is that frames sent by ip_send_unicast_reply() should be orphaned to not fool LSM. Note IPv6 never had this problem, as tcp_v6_send_response() doesnt use a fake socket at all. I'll probably implement tcp_v4_send_response() to remove these unicast_sock in linux-3.7 Reported-by: John Stultz Bisected-by: John Stultz Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Paul Moore Cc: Eric Paris Cc: "Serge E.
