      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nperf/core: Fix unconditional security_locked_down() call\n\nCurrently, the lockdown state is queried unconditionally, even though\nits result is used only if the PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR bit is set in\nattr.sample_type. While that doesn't matter in case of the Lockdown LSM,\nit causes trouble with the SELinux's lockdown hook implementation.\n\nSELinux implements the locked_down hook with a check whether the current\ntask's type has the corresponding \"lockdown\" class permission\n(\"integrity\" or \"confidentiality\") allowed in the policy. This means\nthat calling the hook when the access control decision would be ignored\ngenerates a bogus permission check and audit record.\n\nFix this by checking sample_type first and only calling the hook when\nits result would be honored."

      "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se resolvi\u00f3 la siguiente vulnerabilidad: perf/core: corrige la llamada incondicional a security_locked_down() Actualmente, el estado de bloqueo se consulta incondicionalmente, aunque su resultado se usa solo si el bit PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR est\u00e1 establecido en attr.sample_type. Si bien eso no importa en el caso del Lockdown LSM, causa problemas con la implementaci\u00f3n del gancho de bloqueo de SELinux. SELinux implementa el gancho lock_down comprobando si el tipo de tarea actual tiene el correspondiente permiso de clase de \"bloqueo\" (\"integridad\" o \"confidencialidad\") permitido en la pol\u00edtica. Esto significa que llamar al enlace cuando se ignorar\u00eda la decisi\u00f3n de control de acceso genera una verificaci\u00f3n de permisos y un registro de auditor\u00eda falsos. Solucione este problema verificando sample_type primero y solo llamando al gancho cuando se respete su resultado."
