RHBA-2016:2969 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated selinux-policy packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Extended Update Support.

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, SELinux did not allow the HugeTLBfs memory management feature for the Apache web server. As a consequence, PHP7 in FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) mode did not work properly. The selinux-policy packages have been updated, and HugeTLBfs is now available. (BZ#1393465)
