From 2651225b5ebcdde60f684c4db8ec7e9e3800a74f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Smalley Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 10:35:56 -0500 Subject: selinux: wrap cgroup seclabel support with its own policy capability commit 1ea0ce40690dff38935538e8dab7b12683ded0d3 ("selinux: allow changing labels for cgroupfs") broke the Android init program, which looks up security contexts whenever creating directories and attempts to assign them via setfscreatecon(). When creating subdirectories in cgroup mounts, this would previously be ignored since cgroup did not support userspace setting of security contexts. However, after the commit, SELinux would attempt to honor the requested context on cgroup directories and fail due to permission denial. Avoid breaking existing userspace/policy by wrapping this change with a conditional on a new cgroup_seclabel policy capability. This preserves existing behavior until/unless a new policy explicitly enables this capability.
