Stephen Smalley 65317124a0 Allow untrusted apps to execute binaries from their sandbox directories.
Various third party apps come with their own binaries that they write out to
their sandbox directories and then execute, e.g.:
audit(1386527439.462:190): avc:  denied  { execute_no_trans } for  pid=1550 comm="Thread-79" path="/data/data/com.cisco.anyconnect.vpn.android.avf/app_bin/busybox" dev="mmcblk0p23" ino=602891 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c39,c256 tcontext=u:object_r:app_data_file:s0:c39,c256 tclass=file

While this is not ideal from a security POV, it seems necessary to support for
compatibility with Android today.

Split out the execute-related permissions to a separate allow rule as it
only makes sense for regular files (class file) not other kinds of files
(e.g. fifos, sockets, symlinks), and use the rx_file_perms macro.

Move the rule to untrusted_app only so that we do not permit system apps
to execute files written by untrusted apps.

### Untrusted apps.
###
### This file defines the rules for untrusted apps. An "untrusted
### app" is an APP with UID between APP_AID (10000)
### and AID_ISOLATED_START (99000).
###
### untrusted_app includes all the appdomain rules, plus the
### additional following rules:
###
type untrusted_app, domain;
permissive untrusted_app;
app_domain(untrusted_app)
net_domain(untrusted_app)
bluetooth_domain(untrusted_app)
# Some apps ship with shared libraries and binaries that they write out
# to their sandbox directory and then execute.

allow untrusted_app sdcard_internal:file create_file_perms;
# External SDCard rw access.

# ANY. Normally, apps should not be listening on all interfaces.

# Used by: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

# Used by Finsky / Android "Verify Apps" functionality when
# running "adb install foo.apk".
# TODO: Long term, we don't want apps probing into shell data files.
# Figure out a way to remove these rules.
