SELinux Mailing ListRe: attributes on the other end of a network connection

That requires some form of labeled networking support, which doesn't exist in the mainline SELinux presently. Older SELinux had an experimental labeled networking implementation (Selopt) by James Morris based on CIPSO/FIPS188 options, but the necessary security hooks and fields weren't accepted into mainline Linux. Trent Jaeger of IBM has implemented implicit packet labeling based on IPSEC SA, and I believe that there is work ongoing to provide such an interface using that support, but that hasn't been merged yet. getpeercon(3) is the existing interface, but only works for Unix domain stream sockets presently, as James noted. -- Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
