Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
SELinux now supports `extended_socket_class` This update introduces the `extended_socket_class` policy capability that enables a number of new SELinux object classes to support all of the known network socket address families. It also enables the use of separate security classes for Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) sockets, which were previously mapped to the `rawip_socket` class.

Description Lukas Vrabec 2018-04-07 19:15:30 UTC 
Guys, 

Could you please add following commit into libsepol in RHEL-7.6? 

commit d479baa82d67c9ac56c1a6fa041abfb9168aa4b3
Author: Stephen Smalley <sds.gov>

    libsepol: Define extended_socket_class policy capability
    
    Define the extended_socket_class policy capability used to enable
    the use of separate socket security classes for all network address
    families rather than the generic socket class. This also enables
    separate security classes for ICMP and SCTP sockets, which were previously
    mapped to the rawip_socket class.
    
    The legacy redhat1 policy capability that was only ever used in testing
    within Fedora for ptrace_child is reclaimed for this purpose; as far as
    I can tell, this policy capability is not enabled in any supported distro
    policy.

It's blocking selinux-policy build because of backports related to extended socket class.

Thanks,
Lukas.
