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 (for example, customizing policy boolean settings).

Security Fix(es):

  • libsepol: use-after-free in __cil_verify_classperms() (CVE-2021-36084)
