[PATCH] Fix audit operators
Darrel Goeddel initiated a discussion on IRC regarding the possibility of audit_comparator() returning -EINVAL signaling an invalid operator. It is possible when creating the rule to assure that the operator is one of the 6 sane values. Here's a snip from include/linux/audit.h Note that 0 (nonsense) and 7 (all operators) are not valid values for an operator. ... /* These are the supported operators. * 4 2 1 * = > < * ------- * 0 0 0 0 nonsense * 0 0 1 1 < * 0 1 0 2 > * 0 1 1 3 != * 1 0 0 4 = * 1 0 1 5 <= * 1 1 0 6 >= * 1 1 1 7 all operators */ ... Furthermore, prior to adding these extended operators, flagging the AUDIT_NEGATE bit implied !=, and otherwise == was assumed. The following code forces the operator to be != if the AUDIT_NEGATE bit was flipped on. And if no operator was specified, == is assumed. The only invalid condition is if the AUDIT_NEGATE bit is off and all of the AUDIT_EQUAL, AUDIT_LESS_THAN, and AUDIT_GREATER_THAN bits are on--clearly a nonsensical operator. Now that this is handled at rule insertion time, the default -EINVAL return of audit_comparator() is eliminated such that the function can only return 1 or 0. If this is acceptable, let's get this applied to the current tree. :-Dustin -- Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (cherry picked from 9bf0a8e137040f87d1b563336d4194e38fb2ba1a commit)
