RHBA-2008:0458 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated dbus packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

D-Bus is a system for sending messages between applications. It is used
both for the systemwide message bus service, and as a
per-user-login-session messaging facility.

This updated package addresses the following bug:

• on systems running with SELinux Enforcing enabled, dbus messages were not

being sent to the audit system successfully. This updated package changes
the permissions used by dbus messaging to allow it to properly communicate
with the audit subsystem.

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated dbus packages which resolve
this issue.
