RHBA-2011:0935 - selinux-policy bug fix update
Synopsis
selinux-policy bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated selinux-policy packages that fix various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The selinux-policy packages contain the rules that govern how confined processes run on the system.
This update fixes the following bugs:
-
Due to a constraint violation, the xinetd daemon was unable to connect to localhost in the enforcing mode, causing the operation to fail. With this update, the xinetd daemon is now trusted to write outbound packets regardless of the network's or node's MLS (Multi-Level Security) range, and the bug no longer occurs. (BZ#712410)
-
Previously, a secadm SELinux user was not allowed to modify SELinux configuration files. With this update, the relevant SELinux policy has been fixed, and the secadm SELinux user can now modify these configuration files. (BZ#712194)
-
Previously, the rsyslogd daemon was unable to send messages encrypted with the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol. This bug has been fixed, and rsyslogd now sends these encrypted messages as expected. (BZ#717688)
Users of selinux-policy are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
