Fedora Core 5: 2006-271 Moderate Update For Libsepol Policy Fix

Security-enhanced Linux is a feature 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.

libsepol provides an API for the manipulation of SELinux binary policies.

It is used by checkpolicy (the policy compiler) and similar tools, as well

as by programs like load_policy that need to perform specific transformations

on binary policies such as customizing policy boolean settings.

Update SELinux policy to current rawhide to fix many policy

problems
