[DSE-Dev] Bug#756826: libselinux1: Please apply upstream patch that adds libpcre versions to file_context format

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: libselinux1
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: serious
Tags: sid jessie
Owner: Laurent Bigonville <bigon at debian.org>

Hi,

libselinux is using a compiled version of the file_context files to
speedup lookup.

With the last libpcre release the representation of these compiled regex
has changed and this could lead to file contexts not being applied properly
or to some segfaults if the files are not regenerated after libpcre is
upgraded.

Upstream has fixed that by adding the libpcre version used to the
headers of the compiled files. See the following patch:
https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/ac33098a807671204720aae97d6bcf6429d3fa92

This bug is a reminder that we need this patch applied before jessie is
released.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
