Subject: [PATCH] selinux: fix non-MLS handling in mls_context_to_sid()
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2018 14:47:25 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <154222484559.17938.2684528385878670936.stgit@chester> (raw)
Commit 95ffe194204a ("selinux: refactor mls_context_to_sid() and make
it stricter") inadvertently changed how we handle labels that did not
contain MLS information. This patch restores the proper behavior in
mls_context_to_sid() and adds a comment explaining the proper
behavior to help ensure this doesn't happen again.
Fixes: 95ffe194204a ("selinux: refactor mls_context_to_sid() and make it stricter")
