      CRED: Fix regression in cap_capable() as shown up by sys_faccessat() [ver #2] · 14eaddc9

      Fix a regression in cap_capable() due to:
      
      	commit 5ff7711e635b32f0a1e558227d030c7e45b4a465
      	Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
      	Date:   Wed Dec 31 02:52:28 2008 +0000
      
      	    CRED: Differentiate objective and effective subjective credentials on a task
      
      The problem is that the above patch allows a process to have two sets of
      credentials, and for the most part uses the subjective credentials when
      accessing current's creds.
      
      There is, however, one exception: cap_capable(), and thus capable(), uses the
      real/objective credentials of the target task, whether or not it is the current
      task.
      
      Ordinarily this doesn't matter, since usually the two cred pointers in current
      point to the same set of creds.  However, sys_faccessat() makes use of this
      facility to override the credentials of the calling process to make its test,
      without affecting the creds as seen from other processes.
      
      One of the things sys_faccessat() does is to make an adjustment to the
      effective capabilities mask, which cap_capable(), as it stands, then ignores.
      
      The affected capability check is in generic_permission():
      
      	if (!(mask & MAY_EXEC) || execute_ok(inode))
      		if (capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE))
      			return 0;
      
      This change splits capable() from has_capability() down into the commoncap and
      SELinux code.  The capable() security op now only deals with the current
      process, and uses the current process's subjective creds.  A new security op -
      task_capable() - is introduced that can check any task's objective creds.
      
      strictly the capable() security op is superfluous with the presence of the
      task_capable() op, however it should be faster to call the capable() op since
      two fewer arguments need be passed down through the various layers.
      
      This can be tested by compiling the following program from the XFS testsuite:
      
      /*
       *  t_access_root.c - trivial test program to show permission bug.

      smack: Add support for unlabeled network hosts and networks · 6d3dc07c
      Casey Schaufler authored
      Add support for unlabeled network hosts and networks.
      Relies heavily on Paul Moore's netlabel support.
      
      Creates a new entry in /smack called netlabel. Writes to /smack/netlabel
      take the form:
      
          A.B.C.D LABEL
      or
          A.B.C.D/N LABEL
      
      where A.B.C.D is a network address, N is an integer between 0-32,
      and LABEL is the Smack label to be used. If /N is omitted /32 is
      assumed. N designates the netmask for the address. Entries are
      matched by the most specific address/mask pair. 0.0.0.0/0 will
      match everything, while 192.168.1.117/32 will match exactly one
      host.
      
      A new system label "@", pronounced "web", is defined. Processes
      can not be assigned the web label. An address assigned the web
      label can be written to by any process, and packets coming from
      a web address can be written to any socket. Use of the web label
      is a violation of any strict MAC policy, but the web label has
      been requested many times.
      
      The nltype entry has been removed from /smack. It did not work right
      and the netlabel interface can be used to specify that all hosts
      be treated as unlabeled.
      
      CIPSO labels on incoming packets will be honored, even from designated
      single label hosts. Single label hosts can only be written to by
      processes with labels that can write to the label of the host.
      Packets sent to single label hosts will always be unlabeled.
      
      Once added a single label designation cannot be removed, however
      the label may be changed.
      
      The behavior of the ambient label remains unchanged.

      selinux: Deprecate and schedule the removal of the the compat_net functionality · 277d342f
      Paul Moore authored
      This patch is the first step towards removing the old "compat_net" code from
      the kernel.  Secmark, the "compat_net" replacement was first introduced in
      2.6.18 (September 2006) and the major Linux distributions with SELinux support
      have transitioned to Secmark so it is time to start deprecating the "compat_net"
      mechanism.  Testing a patched version of 2.6.28-rc6 with the initial release of
      Fedora Core 5 did not show any problems when running in enforcing mode.
      
      This patch adds an entry to the feature-removal-schedule.txt file and removes
      the SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT configuration option, forcing
      Secmark on by default although it can still be disabled at runtime.  The patch
      also makes the Secmark permission checks "dynamic" in the sense that they are
      only executed when Secmark is configured; this should help prevent problems
      with older distributions that have not yet migrated to Secmark.
