Subject: [PATCH 01/11] secid reconciliation: new SELinux flask definitions

From: [email-masked]
Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2006 15:42:24 -0400

From: Venkat Yekkirala <[email-masked]>

This patchset helps with leveraging secmark in defining fine-grained security
check points with support for a. a default place holder domain defined using
secmark for each of the check points and b. flow control and reconciliation
of domains entering/leaving the system.

The reconciliation steps for SELinux are explained in the Labeled Networking
document at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=115136637800361&w=2

Also please refer to the discussion at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=115885031311565&w=2

The following are the identifiers handled here:

1. secmark on the skb
2. xfrm security identifier associated with the skb if it used any xfrms,
 a zero secid otherwise.

The following features are included:

- Retain secmark (from the originating socket/flow) on loopback traffic;
  this traffic is now flow controlled on the outbound only.

- When multiple iptables labeling rules are present (e.g.: both on PREROUTING and INPUT)
	INBOUND: The label in the last rule will prevail.
	OUTBOUND: secmark (from the originating socket) is flow-controlled against
		the label on the first rule, and, if it passes, the label on the
		first rule overrides the secmark (from the originating socket).
		This secmark is flow controlled against labels on the subsequent
		rules, each time, overridden by those labels.

- Forwarded packets: The FORWARD chain is treated as an outbound chain for flow
  control purposes. e.g: label with PREROUTING and flow-control with FORWARD or
  POSTROUTING.

- SELinux postroute_last hook: unfortunately, the secmark Vs. UNLABELED SID check
  will be done for ALL traffic (couldn't figure out a way to except traffic already
  processed by (CONN)SECMARK outbound rules).

This patch: Add new flask definitions to SELinux

Adds a new avperm "flow_in" to arbitrate among the identifiers on the
inbound (input/forward). Also adds a new avperm "flow_out" to enable flow
control checks on the outbound (output/forward), addressed in this patch
as well.
