selinux: Allow passt to use setgid and setuid capabilities in namespace
Starting from commit 7bf1595c9242 ("isolation: Don't create our userns as nobody"), we unconditionally set uidmap and gidmap in the detached user namespace. Allow that in SELinux rules. We also need to allow explicit access to the related files. While at it, add the matching class requirements in pasta.te, which I forgot (harmless as they were indirectly required, but not really correct). Link: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-3a8fb909da#comment-4790590 Fixes: 71b74e924426 ("isolation: Don't create our userns as nobody") Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
