+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix(firewalld): check capng_apply() return code
+
+If dropping capabilities is blocked by SELinux, e.g. old selinux-policy,
+then capng_apply() will return non-zero. Also check other things that
+may fail, i.e. capng_update().
+
+Fixes: rhbz 1999090
+(cherry picked from commit 36749f512bbcfc55f0e9e46354009073941d7363)
+(cherry picked from commit cf7f3320c78a8b3f2b8f22779c5747f113d25c57)
