The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:unstable.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream refpolicy package and not the refpolicy package as distributed by Debian.
An issue was discovered in the selinux-policy (aka Reference Policy) package 3.14 through 2020-08-24 because the .config/Yubico directory is mishandled. Consequently, when SELinux is in enforced mode, pam-u2f is not allowed to read the user's U2F configuration file. If configured with the nouserok option (the default when configured by the authselect tool), and that file cannot be read, the second factor is disabled. An attacker with only the knowledge of the password can then log in, bypassing 2FA.
