NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsepol package and not the libsepol package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The CIL compiler in SELinux 3.2 has a heap-based buffer over-read in ebitmap_match_any (called indirectly from cil_check_neverallow). This occurs because there is sometimes a lack of checks for invalid statements in an optional block.
