It seems validatetrans support was never added to libselinux, despite being added to
selinuxfs in kernel version 4.5

Shouldn't we be checking both snprintf's for truncation?

I see things like selinux_status_open() not doing it, also it doesn't
use selinux_page_size but calls
sysconf() directly, so that might not be the best example. I just
wonder if we're glossing over truncation
bugs that might be hard to debug if they ever crop up without explicit errors.

$ git am ~/Downloads/\[PATCH\]\ Add\ security_validatetrans\ support.eml
Applying: Add security_validatetrans support
.git/rebase-apply/patch:68: trailing whitespace.
validatetrans constraints in the loaded policy. Returns 0 if allowed,
-EPERM if denied,
warning: 1 line adds whitespace errors.

Other then my question and trailing whitespace, overall LGTM. Builds and passes.

Hrm.. I started off with a copy of compute_relabel.c or something, it
looks like none of these functions check. Checking the snprintf for
the path is probably not helpful, but now that you mention it, a
truncation of the last context could remove some categories and cause
an erroneous decision, and since we don't get the answer back from the
file like the compute_ functions it could cause a vulnerability.

Thanks, will update and resend.

Well, this was wrong anyway, I trusted the commit message from when
validatetrans was exposed in selinuxfs:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f9df6458218f4fe8a1c3bf0af89c1fa9eaf0db39

but It was incorrect, 0 is not returned on success, the length written
is returned.

Will resend soon. Thanks again.
