    Restrict requesting contexts other than policy-defined defaults. · 356f4be6
    Stephen Smalley authored
    
    Writing to the /proc/self/attr files (encapsulated by the libselinux
    set*con functions) enables a program to request a specific security
    context for various operations instead of the policy-defined defaults.
    The security context specified using these calls is checked by an
    operation-specific permission, e.g. dyntransition for setcon,
    transition for setexeccon, create for setfscreatecon or
    setsockcreatecon, but the ability to request a context at all
    is controlled by a process permission.  Omit these permissions from
    domain.te and only add them back where required so that only specific
    domains can even request a context other than the default defined by
    the policy.
