Subject: Re: CVE-2020-10711 Kernel: NetLabel: null pointer
dereference while receiving CIPSO packet with null category
+-- On Tue, 12 May 2020, P J P wrote --+
| NULL pointer dereference(s) issue(s) was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux
| subsystem. It occurs while importing the Commercial IP Security Option
| (CIPSO) protocol's category bitmap into SELinux's extensible bitmap via
| 'ebitmap_netlbl_import' routine. While parsing the CIPSO restricted bitmap
| tag in 'cipso_v4_parsetag_rbm' routine, it sets the security attribute to
| indicate that category bitmap is present, even if it has not been allocated.
| This leads to the said NULL pointer dereference issue while importing the
| same category bitmap into SELinux. A remote network user could use this flaw
| to crash the system kernel resulting in DoS scenario.

| This issue was introduced by upstream commit:
| -> https://git.kernel.org/linus/4b8feff251da3d7058b5779e21b33a85c686b974
| netlabel: fix the horribly broken catmap functions
Upstream patch:

Thank you.
