Priority: medium
Bug ID: 80185
Assignee: mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Please do not hardcode SELinux identifiers in the code
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: l.bigonvi...@edpnet.be
Hardware: Other
Status: NEW
Version: 10.2
Component: Mesa core
Product: Mesa
Hello,
Currently the mesa code is checking for SELinux booleans ("allow_execmem") to
check whether SELinux will allow mapped memory to be executed and otherwise
turns the function in a noop.
Hardcoding such booleans (and other identifiers) is probably a bad habit, since
custom policies might be written and may perfectly omit these identifiers.
Fedora policy for example doesn't have this boolean anymore.
You should probably to try to mmap() in all cases and react accordingly in case
of failure when SELinux is enabled (by checking errno maybe?)
