Fedora Core 4 FEDORA-2005-530 Moderate: Setools Policy Tools Update

fedora
Calendar Grey July 24, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Elevate security protocols through setools enhancement for Fedora Core 4, introducing enforced access controls.
Updated package.

Summary

Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux kernel and a number of

utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add mandatory access

controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux kernel contains new

architectural components originally developed to improve the security of the Flask

operating system. These architectural components provide general support for the

enforcement of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those

based on the concepts of Type Enforcement, Role-based Access Control, and

Multi-level Security.

The tools and libraries in this release include:

1. seuser: A GUI and command line user manager tool for SELinux. This

is a tool that actually manages a portion of a running policy (i.e.,

user accounts).

2. seuser scripts: A set of shell scripts: seuseradd, seusermod, and

seuserdel. These scripts combine the functions of the associated s*

commands with seuser to provide a single interface to manage users in

SE Linux.

3. libapol: The main policy.conf analysis library, which is the core

library for all our tools.

See the help files for apol, sepcut, and seuser for help on using the

tools.
