SELinux Mailing ListRe: [PATCH] SELinux: Use unknown perm handling to handle unknown netlink msg types
From: Eric Paris <eparis_at_redhat.com>

We already just blindly allow the case where a new/unknown sclass is used which is what this part of the switch statement hits. I wanted to get the case where a known class has a new mesg type (aka nlmsg_perm returns -EINVAL) Not sure that the socket check is worth anything since I don't (in either case) know what perms to ask for. I also considered making the case of unknown msg type return ALL of the perms for that entire socket class but I think what I did is the best/easiest way we can go.... -Eric -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
