• Summary:
SELinux binary policy manipulation library
• Description:
Security-enhanced Linux is a feature of the Linux® kernel and a number of utilities
with enhanced security functionality designed to add mandatory access controls to Linux. The
Security-enhanced Linux kernel contains new architectural components originally developed
to improve the security of the Flask operating system. These architectural components provide
general support for the enforcement of many kinds of mandatory access control policies,
including those based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access Control,
and Multi-level Security. libsemanage 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 such as
customizing policy boolean settings.
