[PATCH][SELINUX] Fix compute_av bug

From: Stephen Smalley
Date: Fri Mar 12 2004 - 14:29:03 EST


This patch fixes a bug in the SELinux compute_av code; the current code
yields the right access computation but can cause unnecessary (but
harmless) processing to occur when transition permission wasn't granted
in the first place by the TE configuration. Thanks to Chad Hanson of
TCS for reporting the bug.
