From 9814077275eca36ebf8d510d2f076d235ff9f51a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fan Wu Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 20:13:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipe: fix use-after-free when auditing a newly loaded policy new_policy() audits the policy after ipe_new_policyfs_node() publishes it and drops the new directory's inode lock. A concurrent delete can free the policy while ipe_audit_policy_load() is still using it. Audit the successful load under that lock.
