[PATCH] Bug fix for load_policy

From: Stephen Smalley <sds_at_tislabs.com>
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 10:20:33 -0500 (EST)

When the SELinux module is in permissive mode, a bug in the convert_contexts function used by the load_policy function can leave the SID table in an inconsistent state when users, roles, or types are removed from the policy on a running system. The attached patch fixes this bug. To apply, save the attached patch to ~/services.patch, cd selinux, and run 'patch -p1 < services.patch'. Then, rebuild the LSM-patched kernel with the built-in SELinux security module.
