From 2a086e5d3a23570735f75b784d29b93068070833 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2011 00:09:26 +0900 Subject: TOMOYO: Fix race on updating profile's comment line. In tomoyo_write_profile() since 2.6.34, a lock was by error missing when replacing profile's comment line. If multiple threads attempted echo '0-COMMENT=comment' > /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/profile in parallel, garbage collector will fail to kfree() the old value. Protect the replacement using a lock. Also, keep the old value rather than replace with empty string when out of memory error has occurred.
