Synopsis
libselinux bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated libselinux packages that resolve a memory leak are now available.
Description
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 libselinux package 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.
The libselinux library calls a constructor when the library is loaded that
allocates memory for the location of the selinux file system mount point.
Previously, there was no code to call a destructor when the library was
closed. This caused a memory leak in programs that use pam or dlopen to
load libselinux.
All users of libselinux should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
