When a new file system object is created and the conditions for label transmutation are met, the SMACK64TRANSMUTE extended attribute is set on the object regardless of its type: file, pipe, socket, symlink, or directory. However, SMACK64TRANSMUTE may only be set on directories. This bug is a combined effect of the commits [1] and [2] which both transfer functionality from smack_d_instantiate() to smack_inode_init_security(), but only in part. Commit [1] set blank SMACK64TRANSMUTE on improper object types. Commit [2] set "TRUE" SMACK64TRANSMUTE on improper object types.
