RHBA-2012:0123 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated selinux-policy packages that fix two 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:

• An incorrect SELinux policy prevented the qpidd service from starting. These

selinux-policy packages contain updated SELinux rules, which allow the qpidd
service to be started correctly. (BZ#786088)

• With SELinux in enforcing mode, the ssh-keygen utility was prevented from

access to various applications and thus could not be used to generate SSH keys
for these programs. With this update, the "ssh_keygen_t" SELinux domain type has
been implemented as unconfined, which ensures the ssh-keygen utility to work
correctly. (BZ#784783)

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
