RHBA-2011:0191 - netlabel_tools bug fix update
Synopsis
netlabel_tools bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated netlabel_tools package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
NetLabel is a kernel subsystem which implements explicit packet labeling protocols such as CIPSO and RIPSO for Linux. Packet labeling is used in secure networks to mark packets with the security attributes of the data they contain. This package provides the necessary user space tools to query and configure the kernel subsystem.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, running the netlabelctl utility with an invalid mask argument caused the utility to terminate with a 0 exit status. This error has been fixed, and when an invalid mask is supplied, netlabelctl now returns a non-zero exit status as expected. (BZ#602291)
All users of netlabel_tools are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
