RHBA-2011:1193 - selinux-policy bug fix update

Synopsis

selinux-policy bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated selinux-policy packages that fix three 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 bug:

  • Prior to this update, the SELinux policy package did not allow the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization agent to execute. This update adds the policy for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization agents, so that they can be executed as expected. (BZ#719352)

  • Previously, several labels were incorrect and rules for creating new 389-ds instances were missing. As a result, access vector caches (AVC) appeared when a new 389-ds instance was created through the 389-console. This update fixes the labels and adds the missing rules. Now, new 389-ds instances are created without further errors. (BZ#727039)

  • Prior to this update, AVC error messages occurred in the audit.log file. With this update, the labels causing the error messages have been fixed, thus preventing this bug. (BZ#727078)

All users of SELinux policy are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259/
