RELEASE 20191204 (3.0)

User-visible changes:

  • Optional support for kernel policy optimization (enable with
    optimize-policy=true in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf for modular policy or -O
    option to checkpolicy/secilc for monolithic policy); this is optional because it
    provides relatively small savings with non-trivial policy compile-time overhead
    for some policies e.g. Android.

  • New digest scheme for setfiles/restorecon -D; instead of a single hash of the
    entire file contexts configuration stored in a security.restorecon_last xattr on
    only the top-level directory, use a hash of all partial matches from file
    contexts stored in a security.sehash xattr on each directory,

  • Support for default_range glblub in source policy (.te/policy.conf and CIL)
    and kernel policy version 32,

  • New libselinux APIs for querying validatetrans rules,

  • Unknown permissions are now handled as errors in CIL,

  • security_av_string() no longer returns immediately upon encountering an
    unknown permission and will log all known permissions,

  • checkmodule -c support for specifying module policy version,

  • mcstransd reverted to original color range matching based on dominance,

  • Support for 'dccp' and 'sctp' protocols in semanage port command,

  • 'checkpolicy -o -' writes policy to standard output,

  • 'semodule -v' sets also cil's log level

  • Python 2 code is not be supported in this project anymore and new Python code
    should be written only for Python 3.

  • Messages about the statement failing to resolve and the optional block being
    disabled are displayed at the highest verbosity level.

  • Fixed redundant console log output error in restorecond
