libsemanage: revert "Skip policy module re-link when only setting booleans."
commit e5aaa01f81afa278cce79bd59ebfdb80a32e4e5a ("Skip policy module
re-link when only setting booleans.") can lead to duplicate entries
(e.g. portcon entries) being added into the kernel policy because the
existing linked policy already includes the local customizations.
Revert this commit until we can come up with an approach that handles
this properly. This means that setsebool -P triggers a full policy
rebuild.
From the original bug report:
I've noticed a strange interaction with custom ports and booleans.
After setting a boolean, the list of ports for a particular type
(which has been customized) shows duplicate entries.
Example:
$ semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 12345
$ semanage port -l | grep http_port_t
http_port_t tcp 12345, 80, 81, ...
$ setsebool -P zebra_write_config false
$ semanage port -l | grep http_port_t
http_port_t tcp 12345, 12345, 80, 81, ...
$ setsebool -P zebra_write_config false
$ semanage port -l | grep http_port_t
http_port_t tcp 12345, 12345, 12345, 80, 81, ...
As can be seen, each time a boolean is set persistently (it doesn't
matter which boolean or which state), the custom port 12345 is
duplicated. Running "semodule -B" clears the duplicates.
However, if only the local customizations are listed, the port is
always listed only once:
$ semanage port -l -C
SELinux Port Type Proto Port Number
http_port_t tcp 12345
