+Subject: [PATCH] libselinux: Replace PyString_FromString with
+ PyUnicode_FromString for SWIG 4.5.0 compatibility
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+Content-type: text/plain
+
+SWIG 4.5.0 removed Python 2 C API compatibility macros (PyInt_*,
+PyString_*, SWIG_Python_str_*) from its runtime header pyhead.swg.
+These macros previously mapped deprecated Python 2 C API names to their
+Python 3 equivalents.

+Subject: [PATCH] libselinux: restorecon_xattr: reset dir_xattr_list on every
+ call
+Content-type: text/plain
+
+selinux_restorecon_xattr(3) documents that "xattr_list must be set to
+NULL before calling selinux_restorecon_xattr(3). The caller is
+responsible for freeing the returned xattr_list entries." Commit
+b5a23d7f30c1 ("libselinux: restorecon_xattr: clear dir_xattr_* after
+freeing") reset the dir_xattr_list/dir_xattr_last statics after
+freeing them on the internal error-cleanup path of the recursive
+walk, but not on the normal success path.
+
+After a successful call, dir_xattr_list/dir_xattr_last are left
+pointing at the just-returned, now caller-owned list. Once the caller
+frees it as required and calls the function again, add_xattr_entry()
+finds dir_xattr_list non-NULL and appends the next entry through
+dir_xattr_last->next, a dangling pointer into memory the caller has
+already freed - a use-after-free write.
+
+Reset both pointers to NULL at the top of every call instead of only
+in the error path: by the API description, any list from a prior call
+is not valid.

+Subject: [PATCH] Add support for UTF-8 in file context specifications
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+Content-type: text/plain
+
+Implement support for UTF-8 symbols in file specifications. Strings
+representing paths are processed as bytes so if users need to use
+wildcards on non-ascii symbols, they need to put them in pcre groups,
+e.g. "/opt/žluťou(č)+"
+
+This brings some overhead and so it's possible to disable UTF-8 support
+build time using DISABLE_UTF=y environment variable.
+
+Fixes:
+    # cat unicode.cil
+    (filecon "/opt/žluťoučký(/.*)?" any (system_u object_r user_home_t ((s0) (s0))))
+
+    # semodule -i unicode.cil
+    /sbin/setfiles: /var/lib/selinux/final/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts:  line 2145 error due to: Non-ASCII characters found
