| Doc Text: |
The semanage utility did not produce correct audit messages in the Common Criteria certified environment. This update modifies semanage so that it now sends correct audit events when the user is assigned to or removed from a new role.
This update also modifies behavior of semanage concerning the user's SELinux Multi-Level Security (MLS) and Multi-Category Security (MCS) range. The utility now works with the user's default range of the MLS/MCS security level instead of the lowest.
In addition, the semange(8) manual page has been corrected to reflect the current semanage functionality.

Fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.19.el6.src.rpm Following audit-test trustedprograms tests will have to be reviewed and updated in the upstream test suite because they expect type=USER_ROLE_CHANGE: ./audit/libpam/tests/test_mls_default_login.bash ./audit/libpam/tests/test_mls_level_login.bash ./audit/libpam/tests/test_mls_level_login_fail.bash ./audit/trustedprograms/tests/test_newrole.bash ./audit/trustedprograms/tests/test_semanage_chglvl.bash Logins and any use of newrole should still send USER_ROLE_CHANGE because the user is changing roles. But adding/deleting roles from a user's login database by using semanage with either of the -a or -d command line options are in fact affected by this patch. You should be able to grep the test suite looking for any use of semanage. If there is none, then the test suite is unaffected.
