[PATCH V2] security/selinux: Always allow FIOCLEX and FIONCLEX

From: Richard Haines
Date: Mon Feb 21 2022 - 08:15:58 EST


These ioctls are equivalent to fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, flags), which SELinux
always allows too. Furthermore, a failed FIOCLEX could result in a file
descriptor being leaked to a process that should not have access to it.

As this patch removes access controls, a policy capability needs to be
enabled in policy to always allow these ioctls.

V2 Change: Control via a policy capability. See this thread for discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/CAHC9VhQEPxYP_KU56gAGNHKQaxucY8gSsHiUB42PVgADBAccRQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

With this patch and the polcap enabled, the selinux-testsuite will fail:
ioctl/test at line 47 - Will need a fix.
