Updated SELinux Release

[Stephen Smalley <sds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An updated SELinux release is available from the NSA SELinux web site;
see http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/news.cfm#R050622.

This SELinux release is based on Linux 2.6.12.  The 2.6.12 kernel
includes the name_connect permission check for controlling outbound
connections.  The SELinux kernel patch for 2.6.12 includes the execstack
and execheap permission checks contributed by Lorenzo.  The hierarchical
role and type support by Tresys Technology has been merged into libsepol
and checkpolicy.  A new audit2why utility has been added to
policycoreutils to help identify the causes of avc denials. libsepol has
been re-licensed under the LGPL.  Updated versions of setools by Tresys
and polgen by MITRE were added.  A number of patches for the userspace
libraries, tools, and policy were merged.
