RHBA-2012:0364 - selinux-policy bug fix update

Synopsis

selinux-policy bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated selinux-policy packages that fix two 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:

  • An incorrect SELinux policy prevented the qpidd service from connecting to the AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) port when the qpidd daemon was configured with Corosync clustering. These selinux-policy packages contain updated SELinux rules, which allow the qpidd service to be started correctly. (#BZ796331)

  • With SELinux in enforcing mode, an OpenMPI job submitted to the parallel universe environment failed on ssh keys generation. This happened because the ssh-keygen utility was not able to read from and write to the "/var/lib/condor/" directory". With this update, a new SELinux policy has been added for the "/var/lib/condor/" directory, which allows the ssh-keygen utility to read from and write to this directory. (#BZ796585)

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.
