Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 02/14] selinux: Better local/forward check in selinux_ip_postroute()
Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:48:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080903004854.15669.95990.stgit@flek.lan> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080903003647.15669.45349.stgit@flek.lan>

It turns out that checking to see if skb->sk is NULL is not a very good
indicator of a forwarded packet as some locally generated packets also have
skb->sk set to NULL.  Fix this by not only checking the skb->sk field but also
the IP[6]CB(skb)->flags field for the IP[6]SKB_FORWARDED flag.
