checkPasswdAccess(3) -- Linux man page
NAME
security_compute_av, security_compute_create, security_compute_relabel, security_compute_user - query
the SE Linux policy database in the kernel.
SYNOPSIS
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
#include <selinux/flask.h>
int security_compute_av(security_context_t scon, security_context_t tcon, security_class_t tclass, access_vector_t requested, struct av_decision *avd);
int security_compute_create(security_context_t scon, security_context_t tcon, security_class_t tclass, security_context_t *newcon);
int security_compute_relabel(security_context_t scon, security_context_t tcon, security_class_t tclass, security_context_t *newcon);
int security_compute_user(security_context_t scon, const char *username, security_context_t **con);
int checkPasswdAccess(access_vector_t requested);
DESCRIPTION
security_compute_av
queries whether the policy permits the source context
scon
to access the target context
tcon
via class
tclass
with the
requested
access vector. See the cron source for a usage example.
security_compute_create
is used to compute a context to use for labeling a new object in a particular
class based on a SID pair.
security_compute_relabel
is used to compute the new context to use when relabeling an object, it is used
in the pam_selinux.so source and the newrole source to determine the correct
label for the tty at login time, but can be used for other things.
security_compute_user
is used to determine the set of user contexts that can be reached from a
source context. Is mainly used by
get_ordered_context_list.
checkPasswdAccess
This functions is a helper functions that allows you to check for a permission in the passwd class. checkPasswdAccess uses getprevcon() for the source and target security contexts.
RETURN VALUE
0 for success and on error -1 is returned.
