Alexander Potapenko e2f586bd83 selinux: check for address length in selinux_socket_bind()
KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer, a new error detection tool) reports use of
uninitialized memory in selinux_socket_bind():

==================================================================

(the line numbers are relative to 4.8-rc6, but the bug persists upstream)

, when I run the following program as root:

=======================================================
  #include <string.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>
  #include <netinet/in.h>

  int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    struct sockaddr addr;
    int size = 0;
    if (argc > 1) {
      size = atoi(argv[1]);
    }
    memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
    int fd = socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP);
    bind(fd, &addr, size);
    return 0;
  }
=======================================================

(for different values of |size| other error reports are printed).

This happens because bind() unconditionally copies |size| bytes of
|addr| to the kernel, leaving the rest uninitialized. Then
security_socket_bind() reads the IP address bytes, including the
uninitialized ones, to determine the port, or e.g. pass them further to
sel_netnode_find(), which uses them to calculate a hash.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
