Another update to the labeled networking patches for 2.6.28. This revision adds some small fixes, the dead-code removal patch posted earlier, and the big addition ... wait for it ... full LSM label/context support for local connections. This is accomplished by creating a new, private CIPSO tag type (allowed by the spec with a tag number > 127) which carries the LSM's secid value, allowing full LSM contexts to be carried across local connections without the headaches of labeled IPsec. For those of you interested in testing this out, you will need the latest from the netlabel_tools addrsel branch, revision 74 or higher should work. If you enable the new local labeling you will almost certainly need to run SELinux in permissive mode since I'm fairly certain the current policies don't have the necessary allow rules. With that said, enabling the new local labeling is pretty easy ... 1. Add a CIPSO DOI which uses the new local labeling tag type, note you do not have to specify the tags # netlabelctl cipsov4 add local doi:2 # netlabelctl -p cipsov4 list 2. Setup the default mapping to use the CIPSO DOI we just created for localhost, keeping in mind we have to remove the existing mapping first. Of course you don't have to use the default mapping, you can create your own domain specific mappings. # netlabelctl map del default # netlabelctl -p map list # netlabelctl map add default address:0.0.0.0/0 protocol:unlbl # netlabelctl map add default address:127.0.0.1 protocol:cipsov4,2 # netlabelctl -p map list 3. Enjoy! This should be the last bit of functionality for 2.6.28, the one possible exception being a small patch to expose the static/fallback labeling mechanism to Smack via the NetLabel KAPI. Casey is still working on the Smack portion of that effort and I'll only submit the NetLabel side once Smack is ready for it. Assuming no major problems are uncovered in the next week I'll probably add the missing sign-offs and submit this to the linux-next tree for further exposure and testing.
