SE Linux permissive or enforcing (impact on security)

[Macusercom]

I've read a dozen articles about SE Linux permissive and enforcing. I do know now that permissive allows everything and logs denials and enforcing blocks access denials.

But I wanted to know what kind of an impact it really does on Android especially on Marshmallow? What would be serious threats if it is permissive? Does it really matter?

Currently I want to use a kernel for my phone that works perfectly but does not allow enforcing as it resets to permissive. Now I'm not quite sure if I should stick to it when in my opinion enforcing is far more safe. However, I do not really know which is why I'm asking this right now.

Thanks in advance!

can't impact alot and no it won't be serious (if) u knew what u are installing from apps ...if ur apps are basically from known deves or from google play nothing will happen to u and everything will run ok and safe for u ... almost all apps will behave as if the selinux is enabled when in permissive ....the true danger when u have ur kernel SE linux fully disabled
