[RFC PATCH 0/4] Split security_task_getsecid() into subj and obj variants

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As discussed briefly on the list (lore link below), we are a little
sloppy when it comes to using task credentials, mixing both the
subjective and object credentials.  This patch set attempts to fix
this by replacing security_task_getsecid() with two new hooks that
return either the subjective (_subj) or objective (_obj) credentials.

Casey and John, I made a quick pass through the Smack and AppArmor
code in an effort to try and do the right thing, but I will admit
that I haven't tested those changes, just the SELinux code.  I
would really appreciate your help in reviewing those changes.  If
you find it easier, feel free to wholesale replace my Smack/AppArmor
patch with one of your own.
