From 6326948f940dc3f77066d5cdc44ba6afe67830c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Moore Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2021 11:01:21 -0400 Subject: lsm: security_task_getsecid_subj() -> security_current_getsecid_subj() The security_task_getsecid_subj() LSM hook invites misuse by allowing callers to specify a task even though the hook is only safe when the current task is referenced. Fix this by removing the task_struct argument to the hook, requiring LSM implementations to use the current task. While we are changing the hook declaration we also rename the function to security_current_getsecid_subj() in an effort to reinforce that the hook captures the subjective credentials of the current task and not an arbitrary task on the system.
