For the past several months I've been running the SELinux testsuite on a weekly basis against Linus' kernel plus the SELinux and audit development trees and I haven't noticed any problems that haven't already been reported. While not exhaustive, the testsuite does exercise the NetLabel/CIPSO code. I'll see if I can take a closer look at the Smack code, but do you rely on the inet_skb_param values in Smack? We did have a similar problem in the NetLabel core code that we fixed with 04f81f0154e4bf002be6f4d85668ce1257efa4d9; it's possible there is a similar problem in code that we just aren't exercising with SELinux at the moment. * https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux-testsuite * https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/pcmoore/kernel-secnext > commit c3f1010b30f7fc611139cfb702a8685741aa6827 > Merge: ca4aa97 0b922b7 > Author: David S.
