Fedora Core 3: libselinux-1.19.1-8 Moderate Access Control Update

fedora
Calendar Grey November 30, 2004
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora's libsemanage modifies where utilities are located and eliminates unnecessary debug programs not intended for public release.
Change location of helper applications and remove some debug applications that should not have been part of the distribution.

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.

libselinux provides an API for SELinux applications to get and set

process and file security contexts and to obtain security policy

decisions. Required for any applications that use the SELinux API.
