Subject: [PATCH 1/1] selinux: Transition to pasta_t in containers
Date: Wed, 14 May 2025 04:44:12 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250514104413.197448-3-git@maxchernoff.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250514104413.197448-2-git@maxchernoff.ca>
Currently, pasta runs in the container_runtime_exec_t context when
running in a container. This is not ideal since it means that pasta runs
with more privileges than strictly necessary. This commit updates the
SELinux policy to have pasta transition to the pasta_t context when
started from the container_runtime_t context, adds the appropriate
labels to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/netns and
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containers/networks/rootless-netns, and grants the
necessary permissions to the pasta_t context.
