You need to actually call the LSM. What if the reason to fail > the request isn't that the writer gained capabilities -- what if the > writer's selinux label changed? Sorry I can't follow you here! Can you be more explicit please? For me we are already doing this during ptrace_may_access() on each syscall, which will call LSM to inspect the privileges on each ->open(), ->write()... So LSM hooks are already called. If you want to have more LSM hooks, then perhaps that's another problem? -- Djalal Harouni http://opendz.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
