My mentor Darren Moffat suggested that I should ask for reviewers to look
 over the changes I made to introduce the new basic privileges restricting
 file access, introduced appropriate secpolicy_vnode_* functions in policy.c
 and ported UFS and TMPFS to use these functions.

My webrev is located at: http://myhpi.de/~nicolai/webrev/

To get an overview about the new basic privileges and its semantics, I posted
 the changes to priv_defs in this mail:

----------

basic privilege PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ

       Without having set PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ, a process is only able
       to perform read operations on globally readable files or directories
       because it can only act like an 'anonymous process' and cannot benefit
       from its euid, egid or group memberships.
       Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_DAC_READ will not be
       restricted if PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ is not set.

basic privilege PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE

       Without having set PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE, a process is only able
       to perform write operations on globally writable files or directories
       because it can only act like an 'anonymous process' and cannot benefit
       from its euid, egid or group memberships.
       Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_DAC_WRITE will not be
       restricted if PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE is not set.

basic privilege PRIV_FILE_NANON_EXECUTE

       Without having set PRIV_FILE_NANON_EXECUTE, a process is only
       able to perform execute operations on globally executable files
 because it can only act like an 'anonymous process' and cannot benefit from
 its euid, egid or group memberships.
       Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_DAC_EXECUTE will not be
       restricted if PRIV_FILE_NANON_EXECUTE is not set.

basic privilege PRIV_FILE_NANON_SEARCH

       Without having set PRIV_FILE_NANON_SEARCH, a process is only
       able to perform search operations on globally searchable directories
       because it can only act like an 'anonymous process' and cannot benefit
       from its euid, egid or associated groups.
       Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_DAC_SEARCH will not be
       restricted if PRIV_FILE_NANON_EXECUTE is not set.

basic privilege PRIV_FILE_NANON_OWNER

       PRIV_FILE_NANON_OWNER allows a process to perform operations on
       a file, directory or link that require ownership.
       PRIV_FILE_OWNER may always substitute PRIV_FILE_NANON_OWNER.
       Without having set at least one of both privileges, a process is
       considered to be 'anonymous' and cannot benefit from its euid.
       Affected operations are e. g. changing permission bits/acls, changing
       access and modification times, changing the gid of an owned file or
       directory when a process is member of this group, creating hardlinks
 to files owned by a UID equal to the process's effective UID, renaming or
 moving in a directory with the sticky bit, mounting a file system on a mount
 point owned by a UID equal to the process's effective UID and creating of a
 new file, directory or symbolic link.
       To change permission bits/acls of an owned file PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ
       or PRIV_FILE_DAC_READ, PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE or PRIV_FILE_DAC_WRITE
 and PRIV_FILE_ANON_EXECUTE or PRIF_FILE_DAC_EXECUTE have to be set as well.
 To change permission bits/acls of an owned directory
       PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ or PRIV_FILE_DAC_READ, PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE or
       PRIV_FILE_DAC_WRITE and PRIV_FILE_ANON_SEARCH or PRIV_FILE_DAC_SEARCH
       have to be set as well.
       To change the gid of an owned file or directory when a process is
       member of this group, at least one of PRIV_FILE_NANON_OWNER,
       PRIV_FILE_OWNER, PRIV_FILE_CHOWN or PRIV_FILE_CHOWN_SELF has to be
 set. So privilege escalation due to permission changes are not possible. If
 a new file should be created PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ or
       PRIV_FILE_DAC_READ, PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE or PRIV_FILE_DAC_WRITE and
       PRIV_FILE_ANON_EXECUTE or PRIF_FILE_DAC_EXECUTE have to be set as
 well. If a directory should be created PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ or
       PRIV_FILE_DAC_READ, PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE or PRIV_FILE_DAC_WRITE and
       PRIV_FILE_ANON_SEARCH or PRIF_FILE_DAC_SEARCH have to be set as well.
       So a process that was able to create a file or directory is always
 able to reopen or enter it later as long no privileges are removed from its
 effective set.
       Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_OWNER will not be
 restricted if PRIV_FILE_NANON_OWNER is not set.

basic privilege PRIV_FILE_GEN_READ

       Without having set PRIV_FILE_GEN_READ, file or directory
       operations that require read permissions will generally not be granted
       unless the PRIV_FILE_DAC_READ or PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ privilege is
 set. Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_DAC_READ or
       PRIV_FILE_NANON_READ will not be restricted if PRIV_FILE_GEN_READ is
 not set.


basic privilege PRIV_FILE_GEN_WRITE

       Without having set PRIV_FILE_GEN_WRITE, file or directory
       operations that require write permissions will not be granted
       unless the PRIV_FILE_DAC_WRITE or PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE privilege is
       set. Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_DAC_WRITE or
       PRIV_FILE_NANON_WRITE will not be restricted if PRIV_FILE_GEN_WRITE is
       not set.

basic privilege PRIV_FILE_GEN_EXECUTE

       Without having set PRIV_FILE_GEN_EXECUTE, file operations that require
       execute permissions will not be granted unless the
 PRIV_FILE_DAC_EXECUTE or PRIV_FILE_NANON_EXECUTE privilege is set.
 Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_DAC_EXECUTE or
 PRIV_FILE_NANON_EXECUTE will not be restricted if PRIV_FILE_GEN_EXECUTE is
 not set.

basic privilege PRIV_FILE_GEN_SEARCH

       Without having set PRIV_FILE_GEN_SEARCH, directory operations that
       require search permissions will not be granted unless the
       PRIV_FILE_DAC_SEARCH or PRIV_FILE_NANON_SEARCH privilege is set.
       Additional rights gained through PRIV_FILE_DAC_SEARCH or
       PRIV_FILE_NANON_SEARCH will not be restricted if PRIV_FILE_GEN_SEARCH
       is not set.
