Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2020-35bb9d1852
2020-07-30 17:50:12.727859
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libseccomp
Product : Fedora 32
Version : 2.5.0
Release : 1.fc32
URL :
https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp
Summary : Enhanced seccomp library
Description :
The libseccomp library provides an easy to use interface to the Linux Kernel's
syscall filtering mechanism, seccomp. The libseccomp API allows an application
to specify which syscalls, and optionally which syscall arguments, the
application is allowed to execute, all of which are enforced by the Linux
Kernel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
- Add support for the seccomp user notifications, see the
`seccomp_notify_alloc(3)`, `seccomp_notify_receive(3)`,
`seccomp_notify_respond(3)` manpages for more information - Add support for
new filter optimization approaches, including a balanced tree optimization,
see the `SCMP_FLTATR_CTL_OPTIMIZE` filter attribute for more information - Add
support for the 64-bit RISC-V architecture - Performance improvements when
adding new rules to a filter thanks to the use of internal shadow transactions
and improved syscall lookup tables - Properly document the libseccomp API return
values and include them in the stable API promise - Improvements to the s390
and s390x multiplexed syscall handling - Multiple fixes and improvements to the
libseccomp manpages - Moved from manually maintained syscall tables to an
automatically generated syscall table in CSV format - Update the syscall
tables to Linux v5.8.0-rc5 - Improvements to the tests have boosted code
coverage to over 93%
