NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream policycoreutils package and not the policycoreutils package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Context relabeling of filesystems is vulnerable to symbolic link attack, allowing a local, unprivileged malicious entity to change the SELinux context of an arbitrary file to a context with few restrictions. This only happens when the relabeling process is done, usually when taking SELinux state from disabled to enable (permissive or enforcing). The issue was found in policycoreutils 2.5-11.
