Topic

Updated chkconfig packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The basic system utility chkconfig updates and queries runlevel information for
system services.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, when the chkconfig utility modified a file in the /etc/xinetd.d/

directory, it set the file permissions to "644" and the SELinux context to
"root:object_r:etc_t". Such permissions, however, do not adhere to the Defense
Information Systems Agency's (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide
(STIG), which requires files in /etc/xinetd.d/ to be unreadable by other users.
With this update, chkconfig ensures that the xinetd files it modifies have the
"600" permissions and the correct SELinux context is preserved. (BZ#965103)

Users of chkconfig 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.
