Description Eric Paris 2007-02-15 20:23:46 UTC
Upstream work:

> > A somewhat related question: How do you handle security labels for
> > sysfs?  No fine grained security yet.
> 
> Right, they are all mapped to a single label presently.  I was thinking
> of handling that from userspace after introducing a setxattr handler for
> sysfs and a way to preserve the SID on the entry (likely caching it in
> the sysfs_dirent and propagating that to the inode when the inode is
> populated from the sysfs_dirent).  Then early userspace could walk sysfs
> and apply finer-grained labeling from a configuration.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-04-03 19:09:44 UTC
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

The process we're following is outlined here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp

We will be following the process here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this
doesn't happen again.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2008-05-07 01:11:39 UTC
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was
first requested. As a result we are closing it.

If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora
version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
