RHBA-2017:0504 - 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:

• Previously, an SELinux rule allowing the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) to update the /etc/krb5.keytab file was missing. Consequently, when running SELinux in enforcing mode, the adcli tool was not able to write the latest host principal to /etc/krb5.keytab. The missing policy rule has been added, and SSSD adcli no longer fails to update /etc/krb5.keytab when running SELinux in enforcing mode. (BZ#1422185)

Users of selinux-policy 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.
