Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	SELinux now supports systemd `No New Privileges` This update introduces the `nnp_nosuid_transition` policy capability that enables SELinux domain transitions under `No New Privileges` (NNP) or `nosuid` if `nnp_nosuid_transition` is allowed between the old and new contexts. The _selinux-policy_ packages now contain a policy for systemd services that use the `NNP` security feature. The following rule describes allowing this capability for a service: allow source_domain target_type:process2 { nnp_transition nosuid_transition }; For example: allow init_t fprintd_t:process2 { nnp_transition nosuid_transition }; The distribution policy now also contains the m4 macro interface, which can be used in SELinux security policies for services that use the `init_nnp_daemon_domain()` function.

Description Lukas Vrabec 2017-08-11 05:57:25 EDT

Define the nnp_nosuid_transition policy capability used to enable SELinux domain transitions under NNP or nosuid if the nnp_transition permission or nosuid_transition permission is allowed between the old and new contexts. When this capability is not enabled, such transitions remain limited to bounded transitions as they were prior to the introduction of this capability.

This feature allows us to create SELinux security policy for systemd services with systemd security feature called: NoNewPrivileges. 

Affected RHEL components: kernel, libsepol, selinux-policy
