RHBA-2012:1252 - 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:
-
Previously, with the MLS policy activated, a user created with a MLS level was not able to log into the system using the ssh utility because an appropriate MLS policy rule was missing. This update adds the MLS rule and users can now log into the system as expected in the described scenario. (BZ#840674)
-
When OpenMPI (Open Message Passing Interface) was configured to use the parallel universe environment in the Condor server, a large number of AVC messages was returned when an OpenMPI job was submitted. Consequently, the job failed. This update fixes the appropriate SELinux policy and OpenMPI jobs now pass successfully and no longer cause AVC messages to be returned. (BZ#852456)
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 https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
