From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com> Commit 98de59bfe4b2f ("take calculation of final prot in security_mmap_file() into a helper") moved the code to update prot with the actual protection flags to be granted to the requestor by the kernel to a helper called mmap_prot(). However, the patch didn't update the argument passed to ima_file_mmap(), making it receive the requested prot instead of the final computed prot. A possible consequence is that files mmapped as executable might not be measured/appraised if PROT_EXEC is not requested but subsequently added in the final prot. Replace prot with mmap_prot(file, prot) as the second argument of ima_file_mmap() to restore the original behavior.

Mimi, what do you think?So ... where do we stand on this patch, Mimi, Roberto? I stand by my original comment, but I would want to see an ACK from Mimi at the very least before merging this upstream. If this isn't ACK-able, do we have a plan to resolve this soon?Sorry, I had business trips last week. Will send the patches this week.
No worries, I just wasn't sure of the status and wanted to check in on this. -- paul-moore.com
