The SELinux team has indicated to me that glibc's SELinux checks in nscd are not being carried out as they would expect the API to be used today. They would like to move away from static header defines for class and permissions and instead use dynamic checks at runtime that provide an answer which is dependent on the runtime status of SELinux i.e. more dynamic. The following patch is a minimal change that moves us forward in this direction. It does the following: * Stop checking for SELinux headers that define NSCD__SHMEMHOST. Check only for the presence or absence of the library. * Don't encode the specific SELinux permission constants into a table at build time, and instead use the symbolic name for the permission as expected. * Lookup the "What do we do if we don't know this permission?" policy and use that if we find SELinux's policy is older than the glibc policy e.g. we make a request for a permission that SELinux doesn't know about. * Lastly, translate the class and permission and then make the permission check. This is done every time we lookup a permission, and this is the expected way to use the API. SELinux will optimize this for us, and we expect the network latencies to hide these extra library calls. Tested on x86, x86-64, and via Fedora Rawhide since November 2013. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-04/msg00179.html |
