Prior to this update, Python bindings for the restorecon command required a user to specify the entire path. Consequent to this, an attempt to use the selinux.restorecon() function with a relative path failed with the following error message:

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

This update corrects the Python bindings to allow the use of the selinux.restorecon() function with a relative path or just a file name.

Previously, the is_selinux_enabled() function may have incorrectly returned a positive value even when the machine was disabled. This happened when the same process that made the calls to disable SELinux attempted to determine if SELinux is enabled, because the selinux_mnt variable was not properly freed and still contained old data. With this update, a patch has been applied to make sure the selinux_mnt variable is now properly freed, and the is_selinux_enabled() function works as expected.

When a semanage login record was set up using a group name and the number of elements in the group was too large, login programs failed to log in the user with the correct context. This update corrects the libselinux library to return all users within a group so that the correct SELinux user record is used. As a result, users with the correct context can now log in as expected in this scenario.
