Context relabeling of filesystems is vulnerable to symbolic link attack, allowing a local, unprivileged malicious entity to change the SELinux context of an arbitrary file to a context with few restrictions. This only happens when the relabeling process is done, usually when taking SELinux state from disabled to enable (permissive or enforcing) (CVE-2018-1063). .

A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: policycoreutils security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0535-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:0535.html Issue date: 2017-03-15 CVE Names: CVE-2016-7545 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: An update for policycoreutils is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode EUS (v. 7.2) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.2) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.2) - ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.2) - ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: The policycoreutils packages contain the core policy utilities required to manage a SELinux environment. Security Fix(es): * It was found that the sandbox tool provided in policycoreutils was vulnerable to a TIOCSTI ioctl attack. A specially crafted program executed via the sandbox command could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands in the context of the parent shell, escaping the sandbox. (CVE-2016-7545) 4.
