Subject: Changing selinux enforcing mode at runtime
Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2019 22:46:05 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMHO8so3mL4hOLd12gg=DZQz7=1auXQET6dVip+r=9GGPjec+Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,
    I wanted to know the behavior when selinux enforcing mode is
changed at runtime via security_setenforce() API. Lets say we boot
with selinux in permissive mode and after bootup we change it to
enforcing mode. My question is related to the tasks that were created
before we enabled enforcing mode. Would their subsequent file
operations fail once selinux is set to enforcing mode (even though the
policy may have been set to allow their access to say a file)?

Thanks!
vatsa
