#1395 SELinux rule matching ignores specificity requirement
Closed: Fixed Opened by sgallagh.

From the sssd-devel list

Maps are still not working properly.
It now always selects the highest priority that a user is associated 
with. This is incorrect. It needs to go through an HBAC-style evaluation 
where the specificity of the user (vs usercat=all) and the host are 
taken into consideration.
So for example these three rules:
   Rule name: test_all
   SELinux User: unconfined_u:s0-s0:c0.c1023
   User category: all
   Host category: all
   Enabled: TRUE
   Rule name: test_tuser1_pinto
   SELinux User: staff_u:s0-s0:c0.c1023
   Enabled: TRUE
   Users: tuser1
   Hosts: pinto.greyoak.com
   Rule name: test_user
   SELinux User: user_u:s0-s0:c0.c1023
   Host category: all
   Enabled: TRUE
   Users: tuser1
If I log into pinto as tuser1 I get assigned unconfined_u. It should be 
staff_u because that rule is more specific than test_all. The only time 
the context ordering should be considered is when there are two rules 
that match with the same specificity.
