Fapolicyd (File Access Policy Daemon) implements application whitelisting to decide file access rights. Applications that are known via a reputation source are allowed access while unknown applications are not. The daemon makes use of the kernel’s fanotify interface to determine file access rights.
The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: fapolicyd (1.1). (BZ#1939379)
Security Fix(es):

  • fapolicyd: fapolicyd wrongly prepares ld.so path (CVE-2022-1117)
