[PATCH v2 1/2] selinux: reject a permission value exceeding the class permission count

[Bryam Vargas via B4 Relay]

From: Bryam Vargas <hexlabsecurity@xxxxxxxxx>

perm_read() bounds a permission value by SEL_VEC_MAX but never by the
nprim of the owning class or common, which is taken verbatim from the
policy image.  security_get_permissions() then writes perms[value - 1]
into an nprim-sized kcalloc() array, so a class declaring fewer
permissions than its largest permission value drives an out-of-bounds
heap write.  The top-level symbol tables are validated this way; the
nested per-class permission table is not.

Reject a permission whose value exceeds nprim, which is already set when
perm_read() runs.  Well-formed policies are unaffected.

Fixes: 55fcf09b3fe4 ("selinux: add support for querying object classes and permissions from the running policy")
