RHBA-2019:0199 - 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 7.

Description

The policycoreutils packages contain the core policy utilities required to manage a SELinux environment.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the fixfiles script failed if the /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs file contained at least one entry and the /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local file was not present. With this update, the requirement for existence of /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local has been removed, and fixfiles now works correctly in the described scenario. (BZ#1665813)

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.
