Rocky Linux 8 : libsepol (RLSA-2021:4513)

low Nessus Plugin ID 184738

Synopsis

The remote Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

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

 - The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in __cil_verify_classperms (called from
 __cil_verify_classpermission and __cil_pre_verify_helper). (CVE-2021-36084)

 - The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in __cil_verify_classperms (called from
 __verify_map_perm_classperms and hashtab_map). (CVE-2021-36085)

 - The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a use-after-free in cil_reset_classpermission (called from cil_reset_classperms_set and cil_reset_classperms_list). (CVE-2021-36086)

 - 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. (CVE-2021-36087)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
