Hi Linux-netdev folks:

Could I export the socket security contexts to udp, tcp, raw, unix file under /proc/net/?

If can not, Could you tell me where and how I should export this information to?

The element sk_security of struct sock represents the socket security context ID, which is inheriting from the process which creates this socket most of the time.

but when SELinux type_transition rule is applied to socket, or application sets /proc/xxx/attr/createsock, the socket security context would be different from the creating process. on this condition, the "netstat -Z" will return wrong value, since "netstat -Z" only returns the process security context as socket process security.

I want to fix "netstat -Z", but first the kernel must export this information, like /proc/xxx/attr/current is the process security context. So I have this requirement.

Expect your instruction.

Thanks.

Hi David:

Could you give some comments to my thought?

Singling me out directly is not helpful, I'm overloaded as it is and am unlikely to reply to your query.

I didn't ask you to post here in order to just duplicate the same problem that emailing me privately creates.

I asked you to post here so that any developer, not just me, could reply.
