[PATCH 1/1] selinx: Add getattr to class udp_socket

[PATCH 1/1] selinx: Add getattr to class udp_socket

[Janne Grunau]

Commit 59cc89f ("udp, udp_flow: Track our specific address on socket
interfaces") added a getsockname() call in udp_flow_new(). This requires
getattr. Fixes "Flow 0 (UDP flow): Unable to determine local address:
Permission denied" errors in muvm/passt on Fedora Linux 42 with SELinux.

The SELinux audit message is

| type=AVC msg=audit(1746083799.606:235): avc:  denied  { getattr } for
|   pid=2961 comm="passt" laddr=127.0.0.1 lport=49221
|   faddr=127.0.0.53 fport=53
|   scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:passt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
|   tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:passt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
|   tclass=udp_socket permissive=0

Fixes: 59cc89f ("udp, udp_flow: Track our specific address on socket interfaces")

Whoops. Applied. Thanks for fixing this, and welcome to the git log!

By the way, if somebody is wondering:

...this already works with pasta's (pasta_t) profile because there we
need a bunch of other things (for "spliced" sockets) and I used the
create_stream_socket_perms macro instead, which already includes getattr.

But including getattr here is enough for passt, no need to allow
everything else.
