Currently the audit subsystem prints uncompressed IPv6 addresses which not
only differs from common usage but also results in ridiculously large audit
strings which is not a good thing. This patch fixes this by simply converting
audit to always print compressed IPv6 addresses.
Old message example:
audit(1253576792.161:30): avc: denied { ingress } for
saddr=0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 src=5000
daddr=0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 dest=35502 netif=lo
scontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s15:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:lo_netif_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tclass=netif
New message example:
audit(1253576792.161:30): avc: denied { ingress } for
saddr=::1 src=5000 daddr=::1 dest=35502 netif=lo
scontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s15:c0.c1023
tcontext=system_u:object_r:lo_netif_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tclass=netif
