Subject: [PATCH] selinux: Allow pasta to create and use its control socket when started by Podman
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 19:36:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519173634.3551297-1-sbrivio@redhat.com> (raw)

If Podman starts us, we need to be able to create and use a UNIX
domain socket file under ifconfig_var_run_t or container_var_run_t:
add the related permissions.

The failure reported by Jan would have been fixed by a simple:

  allow pasta_t ifconfig_var_run_t:sock_file create;

but we'll need more than that for actual operation with pesto(1),
and to cover all possible cases.

Reported-by: Jan Rodák <jrodak@redhat.com>
Link: https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/28478
Fixes: 533577008942 ("selinux: Add file context and type enforcement for pesto")
