RHBA-2014:1625 - policycoreutils bug fix update
Synopsis
policycoreutils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated policycoreutils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The policycoreutils packages contain the core utilities that are required for the basic operation of a Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) system and its policies.
This update fixes the following bug:
- A new "noreload" option has been implemented for semanage commands in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6. However, due to a missing reload initialization in the semanageRecords() function, users could not enable a Boolean directly using seobject python module coming from the policycoreutils-python utility. This bug has been fixed, and users can now set the Boolean correctly also using the seobject python module. (BZ#1148800)
Users of policycoreutils 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/articles/11258
