    Remove obsolete netlink_firewall_socket and netlink_ip6fw_socket classes. · 4921085d
    Stephen Smalley authored
    
    The implementation for NETLINK_FIREWALL and NETLINK_IP6_FW protocols
    was removed from the kernel in commit
    d16cf20e2f2f13411eece7f7fb72c17d141c4a84 ("netfilter: remove ip_queue
    support") circa Linux 3.5.  Unless we need to retain compatibility
    for kernels < 3.5, we can drop these classes from the policy altogether.
    
    Possibly the neverallow rule in app.te should be augmented to include
    the newer netlink security classes, similar to webview_zygote, but
    that can be a separate change.
    
    Test: policy builds
