I would like to understand first if failing mount(2) for unknown fs is selinux bug or not. Because if it is and it is fixed, then it would resolve the problem without actually doing anything (well, at least on our side :)). > As for exercising SELinux, you'll exercise SELinux just by enabling it and > loading a policy, since it will perform permission checking on all object > accesses.

I just thought that there is some potential in making the policy interact more with what the fuzzer does. With respect to fs accesses, it works within own temp directory, and I guess the policy is actually all the same for everything it does in that directory. There also may be something related to extended attributes, context changes, etc? _______________________________________________ Selinux mailing list Selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, send email to Selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
