Hello again !

I am resubmitting the changes that I proposed a few days ago for the latest reference policy. There are a few additions and now the patch has been split into a set of 19 logical patches.

I did a quick review of your policy and commented inline. I think most of it is probably not acceptable at this point unfortunately.

Yes, I have started to look at your comments. Of course they are all good points that you have made and that need to be changed.

But after those issues will have been fixed, what else would prevent the patch from being committed ?

For example the way you deal with dbus chat, is not the way refpolicy usually deas with it.

Where you have dbus_*_send interfaces that only go one way, refpolicy uses dbus_*_chat interfaces that are bi-directional.

This is because if some process send a message and is allowed that, then one can be sure that the receiving party will want to reply to that message and that you will want to allow that reply (why else would you have allowed the initial party to send a message in the first place?

It may be beneficial to get even more familiar with reference policy and the concepts/security goals it uses.

You may also find my latest screencast called: introduction to policy writing, inspiring and hopefully informative:
