Hey all,

With CVE-2019-5736 dropping today, I thought it would be a good opportunity to poke about the current state of SELinux support in Kolla. The docs have said it is a work in progress since the Mitaka release at least. I did find a spec that was marked as completed, but I am not aware that there is yet any support and I see that the baremetal role still forces SELinux to "permissive" by default.

Is anybody currently working on this or is there an update spec/blueprint to track the development here? I am no SELinux expert by any means but this feels like an important thing to address, particularly if Docker has made it easier to label bind mounts.

Thanks!
