Subject: [PATCH 3/3] libselinux: filter arguments with path separators
Date: Wed,  9 Nov 2022 20:56:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221109195640.60484-3-cgzones@googlemail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221109195640.60484-1-cgzones@googlemail.com>

Boolean names, taken by security_get_boolean_pending(3),
security_get_boolean_active(3) and security_set_boolean(3), as well as
user names, taken by security_get_initial_context(3), are used in path
constructions.  Ensure they do not contain path separators to avoid
unwanted path traversal.
