RHBA-2011:1193 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated selinux-policy packages that fix three 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 bug:

• Prior to this update, the SELinux policy package did not allow the Red Hat

Enterprise Virtualization agent to execute. This update adds the policy for Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization agents, so that they can be executed as expected.
(BZ#719352)

• Previously, several labels were incorrect and rules for creating new 389-ds

instances were missing. As a result, access vector caches (AVC) appeared when a
new 389-ds instance was created through the 389-console. This update fixes the
labels and adds the missing rules. Now, new 389-ds instances are created without
further errors. (BZ#727039)

• Prior to this update, AVC error messages occurred in the audit.log file. With

this update, the labels causing the error messages have been fixed, thus
preventing this bug. (BZ#727078)

All 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
