RHBA-2012:0781 - setroubleshoot bug fix update

Synopsis

setroubleshoot bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated setroubleshoot packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The setroubleshoot packages provide tools to help diagnose SELinux problems. When AVC messages are returned, an alert can be generated that provides information about the problem and helps to track its resolution. Alerts can be customized to user preference. The same tools can be used to process log files.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, when the system produced a large amount of SELinux denials, the setroubleshootd daemon continued to process all of these denials and increased its memory consumption. Consequently, a memory leak could occur. This bug has been fixed and memory leaks no longer occur in the described scenario. (BZ#757857)

  • When a duplicated command-line option was passed to the sealert utility, sealert terminated with an error message. With this update, the duplicate options are ignored and sealert works as expected, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#633213)

  • Previously, some translations for setroubleshoot were incomplete or missing. This update provides complete translations for 22 languages. (BZ#575686)

Users of setroubleshoot 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 https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
