Fixed In Version libffi-3.1-22.el8
DJ Delorie 2020-05-13 19:25:15 UTC Doc Text Feature: Provide additional libffi-specific temporary directory

Reason: On hardened systems, the system-wide temporary directories may not have permissions suitable for libffi's use.

Result: System administrators may now set the LIBFFI_TMPDIR environment variable for cases where an application needs a temporary directory with both write and exec mount/selinux permissions for libffi purposes.

.An additional libffi-specific temporary directory is available now

Previously on hardened systems, the system-wide temporary directories may not have had permissions suitable for use with the `libffi` library.

With this enhancement, system administrators can now set the `LIBFFI_TMPDIR` environment variable to point to a libffi-specific temporary directory with both `write` and `exec` mount or selinux permissions.
