Message-Id: <1309276565-20776-2-git-send-email-john.johansen@canonical.com> Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:56:04 +0100 From: John Johansen <john.johansen@...onical.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-security-module@...r.kernel.org, jmorris@...ei.org Subject: [PATCH 1/2] AppArmor: Fix reference to rcu protected pointer outside of rcu_read_lock The pointer returned from tracehook_tracer_task() is only valid inside the rcu_read_lock. However the tracer pointer obtained is being passed to aa_may_ptrace outside of the rcu_read_lock critical section. Mover the aa_may_ptrace test into the rcu_read_lock critical section, to fix this.
