Different from selinux_inet_conn_established(), it also gives the
secid to asoc->peer_secid in selinux_sctp_assoc_established(),
as one UDP-type socket may have more than one asocs.

Note that peer_secid in asoc will save the peer secid for this
asoc connection, and peer_sid in sksec will just keep the peer
secid for the latest connection. So the right use should be do
peeloff for UDP-type socket if there will be multiple asocs in
one socket, so that the peeloff socket has the right label for
its asoc.
Hm... this sounds like something we should also try to fix (if
possible). In access control we can't trust userspace to do the right
thing - receiving from multiple peers on one SOCK_SEQPACKET socket
shouldn't cause checking against the wrong peer_sid. But that can be
addressed separately. (And maybe it's even already accounted for
somehow - I didn't yet look at the code closely.)

You could replace the above with
`selinux_inet_conn_established(asoc->base.sk, skb);` to reduce code
duplication.
Hi Ondrej,

will do, thanks!

Now I'm thinking: 'peer_sid' should be correct here.

BUT 'sid' is copied from its parent socket. Later when doing peel-off,
asoc->secid will be set back to the peel-off socket's sksec->sid.
Hi,

I'm not sure I follow... When doing peel-off, security_sctp_sk_clone()
should be called, which sets the peel-off socket's sksec->sid to
asoc->secid, not the other way around. (Are we hitting the language
barrier here? :)
Do you think this is okay? or should the peel-off socket have its own
sksec->sid, which might be different from the parent socket's?
(Note the socket's sid initially was set in selinux_socket_post_create())
I *think* in case of a client socket it is expected for the
peeloff-style child socket to just inherit the same sksec->sid. But
frankly I haven't been with SELinux and kernel development long enough
to understand the intricacies of SELinux's network connection handling
very well... Hopefully Paul/Richard/Stephen can give a more confident
answer/review here.
