Subject[PATCH][SELINUX] Fix selinux_inode_setattr hook
From
Date
This patch against 2.6.11-rc3 fixes the selinux_inode_setattr hook
function to honor the ATTR_FORCE flag, skipping any permission checking
in that case. Otherwise, it is possible though unlikely for a denial
from the hook to prevent proper updating, e.g. for remove_suid upon
writing to a file. This would only occur if the process had write
permission to a suid file but lacked setattr permission to it. Please
apply.
