[PATCH] smack lsm bug fixes

From: Pankaj Kumar
Date: Thu Feb 20 2014 - 05:16:11 EST


From: Pankaj Kumar <pankaj.k2@xxxxxxxxxxx>

1. In order to remove any SMACK extended attribute from a file, a user
should have CAP_MAC_ADMIN capability. But any user without this
capability is able to remove SMACK64MMAP security attribute. This error
has been corrected by a modification in smack_inode_removexattr hook.

2. While setting extended attribute in smack_inode_setsecurity hook,
'-EACCES' error is returned if extended attribute size or value is not
correct. This is wrong error rather this is invalid extended attribute
case. Corrected error '-EINVAL' shall be returned.
