Details

An updated libselinux package that adds an enhancement is now available.

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.

libselinux provides an API for SELinux applications to get and set process
and file security contexts and to obtain security policy decisions. It is
required for any applications that use the SELinux API.

This updated libselinux package adds the permissions required for the name
service cache daemon (nscd) to cache new databases.

All users should install this newly released package, which adds these
permissions.
