sudo does not reset the role of my tty properly [1], and i was wondering if anyone is able to determine what is causing this [2]

Does fgetfilecon() get the context from the actual path or does it get it from file_contexts?
If it does the latter then i guess that would explain it as pty/tty contexts are customizable and thus have no entry in file_contexts:

# matchpathcon /dev/pts/0
/dev/pts/0      <<none>>

In that case i guess it skips the relabel?

I don't think that's relevant. fgetfilecon() is a wrapper for fgetxattr(2); it gets the actual context set on the file, not something from file_contexts (you would use selabel_lookup(3) or matchpathcon(3) for the latter).

The behavior you describe suggests that sudo is never calling selinux_restore_tty() in this case (or there is some bug causing it to abort before reaching the fsetfilecon, or causing that to fail).

Don't know if you can turn up verbosity/logging and/or use strace or autrace or something to get more info.
