Hello,

I am trying to restrict an application to using only some interfaces on the system. I have defined a new type and assigned the interface on my RHEL5.4-x64 system to the new type with semanage. The system indicates that the interface is now configured.
     # semanage interface -l
     SELinux Interface              Context

     eth1                           system_u:object_r:iface_test_t:s0
This does restrict applications like tcpdump or wireshark from listing the interface that was configured.
     # tcpdump -D
     1.peth0
     2.virbr0
     3.vif0.0
     4.eth0
     5.xenbr0
     6.eth2
     7.eth3
     8.any (Pseudo-device that captures on all interfaces)
     9.lo

My problem comes that my application can still open eth1 and read and write packets to this interface.
The application is opening a socket as SOCK_RAW then binding with a struct sockaddr_LL that has the ssll_ifindex field configured with the index of ETH1.
How do I write a selinux policy to restrict this application from using some interfaces.


Thanks
