    NetLabel: Introduce static network labels for unlabeled connections · 8cc44579
    Paul Moore authored
    Most trusted OSs, with the exception of Linux, have the ability to specify
    static security labels for unlabeled networks.  This patch adds this ability to
    the NetLabel packet labeling framework.
    
    If the NetLabel subsystem is called to determine the security attributes of an
    incoming packet it first checks to see if any recognized NetLabel packet
    labeling protocols are in-use on the packet.  If none can be found then the
    unlabled connection table is queried and based on the packets incoming
    interface and address it is matched with a security label as configured by the
    administrator using the netlabel_tools package.  The matching security label is
    returned to the caller just as if the packet was explicitly labeled using a
    labeling protocol.
