Subject: [PATCH v7 26/42] selinux: introduce cred_ssid_has_perm() and cred_other_has_perm()
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 09:26:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250814132637.1659-27-stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250814132637.1659-1-stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com>
Introduce cred_ssid_has_perm() for checking permissions between
a fixed (source SID, target SID) pair against the current SELinux
namespace and all ancestors. This helper is appropriate for
checks between two object SIDs, but should NOT be used
when dealing with task/cred objects.
Introduce cred_other_has_perm() for checking permissions between
two creds against the current SELinux namespace and all
ancestors.
Convert permission checks of these two forms in the hook functions
to use these new namespace-aware helpers.
