James Carter 0451adebdf libsepol/cil: Destroy disabled optional blocks after pass is complete
Nicolas Iooss reports:
  I am continuing to investigate OSS-Fuzz crashes and the following one
  is quite complex. Here is a CIL policy which triggers a
  heap-use-after-free error in the CIL compiler:

  (class CLASS (PERM2))
  (classorder (CLASS))
  (classpermission CLSPRM)
  (optional o
      (mlsvalidatetrans x (domby l1 h1))
      (common CLSCOMMON (PERM1))
      (classcommon CLASS CLSCOMMON)
  )
  (classpermissionset CLSPRM (CLASS (PERM1)))

  The issue is that the mlsvalidatetrans fails to resolve in pass
  CIL_PASS_MISC3, which comes after the resolution of classcommon (in
  pass CIL_PASS_MISC2). So:

  * In pass CIL_PASS_MISC2, the optional block still exists, the
  classcommon is resolved and class CLASS is linked with common
  CLSCOMMON.
  * In pass CIL_PASS_MISC3, the optional block is destroyed, including
  the common CLSCOMMON.
  * When classpermissionset is resolved, function cil_resolve_classperms
  uses "common_symtab = &class->common->perms;", which has been freed.
  The use-after-free issue occurs in __cil_resolve_perms (in
  libsepol/cil/src/cil_resolve_ast.c):

    // common_symtab was freed
    rc = cil_symtab_get_datum(common_symtab, curr->data, &perm_datum);

The fundamental problem here is that when the optional block is
disabled it is immediately destroyed in the middle of the pass, so
the class has not been reset and still refers to the now destroyed
common when the classpermissionset is resolved later in the same pass.

Added a list, disabled_optionals, to struct cil_args_resolve which is
passed when resolving the tree. When optionals are disabled, they are
now added to this list and then are destroyed after the tree has been
reset between passes.

Installation

SELinux libraries and tools are packaged in several Linux distributions:

Building and testing

Build dependencies on Fedora:

# For C libraries and programs
dnf install \
    audit-libs-devel \
    bison \
    bzip2-devel \
    CUnit-devel \
    diffutils \
    flex \
    gcc \
    gettext \
    glib2-devel \
    make \
    libcap-devel \
    libcap-ng-devel \
    pam-devel \
    pcre-devel \
    xmlto

# For Python and Ruby bindings
dnf install \
    python3-devel \
    ruby-devel \
    swig

Build dependencies on Debian:

# For C libraries and programs
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
    bison \
    flex \
    gawk \
    gcc \
    gettext \
    make \
    libaudit-dev \
    libbz2-dev \
    libcap-dev \
    libcap-ng-dev \
    libcunit1-dev \
    libglib2.0-dev \
    libpcre3-dev \
    pkgconf \
    python3 \
    python3-distutils \
    systemd \
    xmlto

# For Python and Ruby bindings
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
    python3-dev \
    ruby-dev \
    swig

To build and install everything under a private directory, run:

make clean distclean

make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-rubywrap install-pywrap

On Debian PYTHON_SETUP_ARGS=--install-layout=deb needs to be set when installing the python wrappers in order to create the correct python directory structure.

To run tests with the built libraries and programs, several paths (relative to $DESTDIR) need to be added to variables $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, $PATH and $PYTHONPATH. This can be done using ./scripts/env_use_destdir:

DESTDIR=~/obj ./scripts/env_use_destdir make test

Some tests require the reference policy to be installed (for example in python/sepolgen). In order to run these ones, instructions similar to the ones in section install of ./.travis.yml can be executed.

To install as the default system libraries and binaries (overwriting any previously installed ones - dangerous!), on x86_64, run:

make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 SHLIBDIR=/lib64 install install-pywrap relabel

or on x86 (32-bit), run:

make install install-pywrap relabel

This may render your system unusable if the upstream SELinux userspace lacks library functions or other dependencies relied upon by your distribution. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Setting CFLAGS

Setting CFLAGS during the make process will cause the omission of many defaults. While the project strives to provide a reasonable set of default flags, custom CFLAGS could break the build, or have other undesired changes on the build output. Thus, be very careful when setting CFLAGS. CFLAGS that are encouraged to be set when overriding are:

  • -fno-semantic-interposition for gcc or compilers that do not do this. clang does this by default. clang-10 and up will support passing this flag, but ignore it. Previous clang versions fail.

macOS

To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):

cd libsepol; make PREFIX=/usr/local install

This requires GNU coreutils:

brew install coreutils
