RHBA-2013:0904 - selinux-policy bug fix update

Synopsis

selinux-policy bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated selinux-policy packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The selinux-policy packages contain the rules that govern how confined processes run on the system.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the mysqld_safe script was unable to execute a shell (/bin/sh) with the shell_exec_t SELinux security context. Consequently, the mysql55 and mariadb55 Software Collection packages were not working correctly. With this update, SELinux policy rules have been updated and these packages now work as expected. (BZ#966996)

Users of selinux-policy are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

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
