RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version:	libsepol-3.4-1.1.el9	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	.SELinux user-space packages updated SELinux user-space packages `libsepol`, `libselinux`, `libsemanage`, `policycoreutils`, `checkpolicy`, and `mcstrans` were updated to the latest upstream release 3.4. The most notable changes are: * Added support for parallel relabeling through the `-T` option in the `setfiles`, `restorecon`, and `fixfiles` tools. ** You can either specify the number of process threads in this option or use `-T 0` for using the maximum of available processor cores. This reduces the time required for relabeling significantly. * Added the new `--checksum` option, which prints SHA-256 hashes of modules. * Added new policy utilities in the `libsepol-utils` package.

Comment 16 Hubert Quarantel-Colombani 2022-10-19 13:19:05 UTC

Beware !

Versions 3.4 of libsepol prior to commit https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/88a703399f3f44be2502fd4ecd22ac3d3c560694 of June 15th (2022) will have a serious problem with SELinux policy modules containing SEuser definitions.

Such policy modules will be rejected with error messages like:
  libsepol.validate_user_datum: Invalid user datum
  libsepol.validate_datum_array_entries: Invalid datum array entries
  libsepol.validate_policydb: Invalid policydb

The source code of such modules will compile successfully at the `checkmodule` stage but will fail at the `semodule_package` stage.
