* NetLabel: Introduce static network labels for unlabeled connectionsPaul Moore2008-01-301-1/+144
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most trusted OSs, with the exception of Linux, have the ability to specify static security labels for unlabeled networks. This patch adds this ability to the NetLabel packet labeling framework. If the NetLabel subsystem is called to determine the security attributes of an incoming packet it first checks to see if any recognized NetLabel packet labeling protocols are in-use on the packet. If none can be found then the unlabled connection table is queried and based on the packets incoming interface and address it is matched with a security label as configured by the administrator using the netlabel_tools package. The matching security label is returned to the caller just as if the packet was explicitly labeled using a labeling protocol.

* [NetLabel]: rework the Netlink attribute handling (part 2)Paul Moore2006-09-251-25/+16
| | | | | | | | At the suggestion of Thomas Graf, rewrite NetLabel's use of Netlink attributes to better follow the common Netlink attribute usage. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystemPaul Moore2006-09-221-0/+98
Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers. NetLabel is designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security mechanism employed by the LSM. The NetLabel subsystem is configured through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files included in this patch. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
