Hi all,

I'm using aa_getpeercon() to get info about a socket, but in some kernels with 
odd apparmor configurations it returns ENOPROTOOPT. But the manpage doesn't 
list that error in the possible errors of this call. Under which circumstances 
can that error be returned?


to use aa_getpeercon() your kernel will need the fine grained unix mediation 
which hasn't land in upstream kernels yet. So current upstream kernels will 
return -ENOPROTOOPT because SO_PEERLABEL is not a supported protocol option.

Additionally note that with LSM stacking, with apparmor stacked with another 
LSM, even if you have the fine grained af_unix mediation, that aa_getpeercon() 
will either return an error or the wrong LSM info (it will depend on the 
version aa_getpeercon() that is in use.
