SELinux Mailing ListRE: dynamic context transitions
From: Stephen Smalley <sds_at_epoch.ncsc.mil>

I think I would need to see your MLS implementation to fully assess the implications, but I'm not clear as to why this requires changing levels dynamically vs. just giving the process the capability to write down while remaining at a single level. Also, I'd be a bit concerned about what happens while the process is running at the lower level, e.g. attempted access by untrusted processes running at that lower level. -- Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
