AFAICS, the only hooks which can be affected is smack_socket_post_create() - that is, the only hook with a 'protocol' argument coming directly from the socket APIs. If I read the code correctly, such hook behaves independently from 'protocol' value. Overall no changes should be needed for smack. Thanks! Paolo

Paolo, it sounded like there was at least one other small MPTCP fix needed, likely in the stack itself and not the LSM/SELinux code, has that patch been submitted already? > diff --git a/security/selinux/hooks.c b/security/selinux/hooks.c > index 6fa593006802..451bded67d9c 100644 > --- a/security/selinux/hooks.c > +++ b/security/selinux/hooks.c > @@ -1120,7 +1120,8 @@ static inline u16 inode_mode_to_security_class(umode_t mode) > > static inline int default_protocol_stream(int protocol) > { > - return (protocol == IPPROTO_IP || protocol == IPPROTO_TCP); > + return (protocol == IPPROTO_IP || protocol == IPPROTO_TCP || > + protocol == IPPROTO_MPTCP); > } > > static inline int default_protocol_dgram(int protocol) > -- > 2.26.2

I just merged this into my selinux/next tree, you should see it in the kernel.org repos later tonight. Thanks!

The MPTCP protocol uses a specific protocol value, even if it's an extension to TCP. Additionally, MPTCP sockets could 'fall-back' to TCP at run-time, depending on peer MPTCP support and available resources. As a consequence of the specific protocol number, selinux applies the raw_socket class to MPTCP sockets. Existing TCP application converted to MPTCP - or forced to use MPTCP socket with user-space hacks - will need an updated policy to run successfully. This change lets selinux attach the TCP socket class to MPTCP sockets, too, so that no policy changes are needed in the above scenario. Note that the MPTCP is setting, propagating and updating the security context on all the subflows and related request socket.
