Topic
An updated mcstrans package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
mcstrans provides a translation daemon to translate SELinux categories from
internal representations to user-defined representations.
This package addresses the following bug:
- A memory leak was discovered within mcstrans. This updated package fixes
the memory leak by freeing the memory before a raw translation,
reinitializing a pointer and verifying that the information string to be
used is not null.
Users of mcstrans are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
