    [PATCH] Add signal state inheritance control to SELinux · 23644641

    This patch against 2.6.0 adds a control to the SELinux module over the
    inheritance of signal-related state upon security context transitions in
    order to protect the new security context.  If the permission is not
    granted by the policy for a given pair of contexts, then transitions
    between them will clear itimers, flush all pending signals, forcibly
    flush signal handlers, and unblock all signals.  Roland McGrath provided
    input and feedback on the patch. 
    Please apply, or let James Morris and me know if you'd like this to be
    resubmitted later.  Thanks.
