How is it possible to be EAL4+ with a policy framework (selinux) that is not fully auditable?
I know, every thing is open source you can see every thing, etc.. BUT how can I know which policy I am currently running:
semodule -l gives you the list of module currently loaded but what is in those modules? (hint: the .pp lying on your fs doesn't qualify..)

One approach to this would be to export the currently loaded policy via selinuxfs so that it can be verified and analyzed.

Just added this to the todo list:
