Synopsis
passt bug fix update
Description
passt implements a translation layer between a Layer-2 network interface and
native Layer-4 sockets (TCP, UDP, ICMP/ICMPv6 echo) on a host. It doesn't
require any capabilities or privileges, and it can be used as a simple
replacement for Slirp. pasta (same binary as passt, different command) offers
equivalent functionality, for network namespaces: traffic is forwarded using a
tap interface inside the namespace, without the need to create further
interfaces on the host, hence not requiring any capabilities or privileges.
Bug Fix(es):
* With passt-selinux installed, installation of selinux-policy-devel reports
harmless, but confusing syntax errors (BZ#2190510)
* Reinstalling passt-selinux package leads to temporarily disabled policy
(BZ#2190511)
