[PATCH] selinux: ignore unknown extended permissions

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

 



When evaluating extended permissions, ignore unknown permissions instead
of calling BUG(). This commit ensures that future permissions can be
added without interfering with older kernels.
