The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a heap-based buffer over-read in ebitmap_match_any (called indirectly from cil_check_neverallow). This occurs because there is sometimes a lack of checks for invalid statements in an optional block.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3930 advisory.

    Package        : libsepol     Version        : 3.1-1+deb11u1     CVE ID         : CVE-2021-36084 CVE-2021-36085 CVE-2021-36086 CVE-2021-36087     Debian Bug     : 990526

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in libsepol, a set of userspace     utilities and libraries for manipulating SELinux policies.

    CVE-2021-36084, CVE-2021-36085, CVE-2021-36086

        Three use-after-free problems were discovered in the CIL compiler.
        These could lead to data corruption, denial of service or possibly         arbitrary code execution.

    CVE-2021-36087

        A heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in the CIL compiler.
        This could lead to confidentiality or integrity violations, or         crashes.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     3.1-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libsepol packages.

    For the detailed security status of libsepol please refer to     its security tracker page at:

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:4513 advisory.

    The libsepol library provides an API for the manipulation of SELinux binary policies. 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)

    * libsepol: use-after-free in __cil_verify_classperms() (CVE-2021-36085)

    * libsepol: use-after-free in cil_reset_classpermission() (CVE-2021-36086)
