Fedora Core 7: 2006-123 Medium: SELinux Policy Modification

Update SELinux policy to current rawhide to fix many policy problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2006-271 2006-04-11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 5 Name : libsemanage Version : 1.6.2 Release : 2.fc5 Summary : SELinux binary policy manipulation library Description : 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. libsemanage 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 Information: Update SELinux policy to current rawhide to fix many policy problems ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Tue Apr 4 2006 Dan Walsh - 1.6.2-2.fc5 - Bump for fc5 * Wed Mar 29 2006 Dan Walsh - 1.6.2-2 - Fix leaky descriptor * Tue Mar 21 2006 Dan Walsh - 1.6.2-1 - Upgrade to latest from NSA * Merged Makefile PYLIBVER definition patch from Dan Walsh. * Merged man page reorganization from Ivan Gyurdiev. ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: 6fe68e9d8e76c0e13a91f0f39c404c64fda8b665 SRPMS/libsemanage-1.6.2-2.fc5.src.rpm 2ebd8d6fbe05447b16c74c810bc41bafc671ff84 ppc/libsemanage-1.6.2-2.fc5.ppc.rpm 1bb2474809cec87abb287256adfd1d08539940a0 ppc/libsemanage-devel-1.6.2-2.fc5.ppc.rpm 616f14b66cc34869d3fadaa5f43c1e493d8acc60 ppc/debug/libsemanage-debuginfo-1.6.2-2.fc5.ppc.rpm 8baac4bacc83d9f3d3d2e9cc6002752aa3e99821 x86_64/libsemanage-1.6.2-2.fc5.x86_64.rpm 691efd0a3ff83e50fc1096d898568f823069449e x86_64/libsemanage-devel-1.6.2-2.fc5.x86_64.rpm d10c735805ef364961f7ecabdc5c4d481417993b x86_64/debug/libsemanage-debuginfo-1.6.2-2.fc5.x86_64.rpm cf37647a6be06e47bd0a190ba760c1352afe18a8 i386/libsemanage-1.6.2-2.fc5.i386.rpm 40425e80b097a0c2362377ff38662282b6cd1c3c i386/libsemanage-devel-1.6.2-2.fc5.i386.rpm 758042d01851bdcbd99e000936fc4bada64d794b i386/debug/libsemanage-debuginfo-1.6.2-2.fc5.i386.rpm This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program.
