Topic

An updated openvswitch-selinux-extra-policy package that fixes one bug is now available in the Fast Datapath channel of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The Open vSwitch suite provides standard network bridging functions and support for the OpenFlow protocol for remote per-flow control of traffic. The openvswitch-selinux-extra-policy package adds an SELinux policy that enables the Open vSwitch suite of utilities to function with SELinux in enforcing mode.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, attempting to ping a guest virtual machine in some cases failed if the host was using SELinux in enforcing mode. This update enables openvswitch_t to map the svirt_image_t label, which prevents the problem from occurring. (BZ#1620257)

Users of openvswitch-selinux-extra-policy are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
