In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
Currently there can only be a single open of /sys/fs/selinux/policy at
any time. This allows any process to block any other process from
reading the kernel policy. The original motivation seems to have been
a mix of preventing an inconsistent view of the policy size and
preventing userspace from allocating kernel memory without bound, but
this is arguably equally bad. Eliminate the policy_opened flag and
shrink the critical section that the policy mutex is held. While we
are making changes here, drop a couple of extraneous BUG_ONs.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) policy handling. A local attacker could exploit this by opening the /sys/fs/selinux/policy file, which prevents other processes from accessing or reading the kernel's security policy. This could lead to a denial of service (DoS) for other system processes that rely on reading the SELinux policy.
