### neverallow rules for untrusted app domains

# Do not allow untrusted apps to be assigned mlstrustedsubject.
# This would undermine the per-user isolation model being
# enforced via levelFrom=user in seapp_contexts and the mls
# constraints.  As there is no direct way to specify a neverallow
# on attribute assignment, this relies on the fact that fork
# permission only makes sense within a domain (hence should
# never be granted to any other domain within mlstrustedsubject)
# and an untrusted app is allowed fork permission to itself.

# In particular, if an untrusted app links to other app data
# files, installd will not be able to guarantee the deletion
# of the linked to file. Hard links also contribute to security
# bugs, so we want to ensure untrusted apps never have this
# capability.

# Do not permit access from apps which host arbitrary code to HwBinder services,

# The two main reasons for this are:
# 1. HwBinder servers do not perform client authentication because HIDL
#    currently does not expose caller UID information and, even if it did, many
#    HwBinder services either operate at a level below that of apps (e.g., HALs)
#    or must not rely on app identity for authorization. Thus, to be safe, the
#    default assumption is that every HwBinder service treats all its clients as
#    equally authorized to perform operations offered by the service.
# 2. HAL servers (a subset of HwBinder services) contain code with higher
#    incidence rate of security issues than system/core components and have
#    access to lower layes of the stack (all the way down to hardware) thus
#    increasing opportunities for bypassing the Android security model.
