smack: fix bug: SMACK64TRANSMUTE set on non-directory
When a new file system object is created and the conditions for label transmutation are met, the SMACK64TRANSMUTE extended attribute is set on the object regardless of its type: file, pipe, socket, symlink, or directory. However, SMACK64TRANSMUTE may only be set on directories. This bug is a combined effect of the commits [1] and [2] which both transfer functionality from smack_d_instantiate() to smack_inode_init_security(), but only in part. Commit [1] set blank SMACK64TRANSMUTE on improper object types. Commit [2] set "TRUE" SMACK64TRANSMUTE on improper object types. [1] 2023-06-10, Fixes: baed456a6a2f ("smack: Set the SMACK64TRANSMUTE xattr in smack_inode_init_security()") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20230610075738.3273764-3-roberto.sassu@huaweicloud.com/ [2] 2023-11-16, Fixes: e63d86b8b764 ("smack: Initialize the in-memory inode in smack_inode_init_security()") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/20231116090125.187209-5-roberto.sassu@huaweicloud.com/ Signed-off-by: Konstantin Andreev <andreev@swemel.ru> Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>
