B.69.1. RHSA-2011:0414 — Important: policycoreutils security update

Updated policycoreutils packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link(s) associated with each description below.
The policycoreutils packages contain the core utilities that are required for the basic operation of a Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) system and its policies.
CVE-2011-1011
It was discovered that the seunshare utility did not enforce proper file permissions on the directory used as an alternate temporary directory mounted as /tmp/. A local user could use this flaw to overwrite files or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a setuid or setgid application that relies on proper /tmp/ permissions, by running that application via seunshare.
Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy for reporting this issue.
This update also introduces the following changes:
* The seunshare utility was moved from the main policycoreutils subpackage to the policycoreutils-sandbox subpackage. This utility is only required by the sandbox feature and does not need to be installed by default.
* Updated selinux-policy packages that add the SELinux policy changes required by the seunshare fixes.
All policycoreutils users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue.
