Currently, Smack mirrors the label of incoming tcp/ipv4 connections:
when a label 'foo' connects to a label 'bar' with tcp/ipv4,
'foo' always gets 'foo' in returned ipv4 packets. So,
1) returned packets are incorrectly labeled ('foo' instead of 'bar')
2) 'bar' can write to 'foo' without being authorized to write.
Here is a scenario how to see this:
* Take two machines, let's call them C and S,
with active Smack in the default state
(no settings, no rules, no labeled hosts, only builtin labels)
* At S, add Smack rule 'foo bar w'
(labels 'foo' and 'bar' are instantiated at S at this moment)
* At S, at label 'bar', launch a program
that listens for incoming tcp/ipv4 connections
* From C, at label 'foo', connect to the listener at S.
(label 'foo' is instantiated at C at this moment)
Connection succeedes and works.
* Send some data in both directions.
* Collect network traffic of this connection.
All packets in both directions are labeled with the CIPSO
of the label 'foo'. Hence, label 'bar' writes to 'foo' without
being authorized, and even without ever being known at C.
If anybody cares: exactly the same happens with DCCP.
This behavior 1st manifested in release 2.6.29.4 (see Fixes below)
and it looks unintentional. At least, no explanation was provided.
I changed returned packes label into the 'bar',
to bring it into line with the Smack documentation claims.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
