This command:
# echo foo/bar >/proc/$$/attr/smack/current
gives the task a label 'foo' w/o indication
that label does not match input.
Setting the label with lsm_set_self_attr() syscall
behaves identically.
This occures because:
1) smk_parse_smack() is used to convert input to a label
2) smk_parse_smack() takes only that part from the
beginning of the input that looks like a label.
3) `/' is prohibited in labels, so only "foo" is taken.
(2) is by design, because smk_parse_smack() is used
for parsing strings which are more than just a label.
Silent failure is not a good thing, and there are two
indicators that this was not done intentionally:
(size >= SMK_LONGLABEL) ~> invalid
clause at the beginning of the do_setattr() and the
"Returns the length of the smack label" claim
in the do_setattr() description.
So I fixed this by adding one tiny check:
the taken label length == input length.
Since input length is now strictly controlled,
I changed the two ways of setting label
smack_setselfattr(): lsm_set_self_attr() syscall
smack_setprocattr(): > /proc/.../current
to accommodate the divergence in
what they understand by "input length":
smack_setselfattr counts mandatory \0 into input length,
smack_setprocattr does not.
smack_setprocattr allows various trailers after label
Related changes:
* fixed description for smk_parse_smack
* allow unprivileged tasks validate label syntax.
* extract smk_parse_label_len() from smk_parse_smack()
so parsing may be done w/o string allocation.
* extract smk_import_valid_label() from smk_import_entry()
to avoid repeated parsing.
* smk_parse_smack(): scan null-terminated strings
for no more than SMK_LONGLABEL(256) characters
* smack_setselfattr(): require struct lsm_ctx . flags == 0
to reserve them for future.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
