RHBA-2012:1421 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated oracle-rhnsat-selinux packages that fix one issue are now available for
Red Hat Network Satellite 5.4 and 5.5.

Description

Red Hat Network Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based
infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, monitoring, and remote management
of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, when postfix was used as the mail transfer agent on a

Satellite server with an embedded database, SELinux Access Vector Cache denial
could be logged for the /rhnsat directory. Mail delivery was not affected. With
this update, that operation is no longer audited and logged. (BZ#768097)

All users of Red Hat Network Satellite 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
