Updated selinux-policy packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The selinux-policy packages contain the rules that govern how confined processes run on the system.

Bug Fixes

BZ#665176
Most of the major services in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 have a corresponding service_selinux(8) manual page. Previously, there was no manual page for the MySQL service (mysqld). This update corrects this error, and the selinux-policy packages now provide the mysql_selinux(8) manual page as expected.
BZ#694031
When the SELinux Multi-Level Security (MLS) policy was enabled, running the userdel -r command caused Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages to be written to the audit log. With this update, the relevant policy has been corrected so that userdel no longer produces these messages.
BZ#698923
When SELinux was running in enforcing mode, an incorrect SELinux policy prevented the kadmin utility (a program for Kerberos V5 database administration) from setting process priority. With this update, the SELinux policy has been corrected, and kadmin now works as expected.
BZ#701885
Previously, the output of the semanage boolean -l command contained errors. This update fixes the descriptions of various SELinux Booleans to ensure the aforementioned command now produces correct output without errors.
BZ#704191
Prior to this update, the secadm SELinux user was not allowed to modify SELinux configuration files. With this update, the relevant SELinux policy has been corrected and the secadm SELinux user can now modify such configuration files as expected.
BZ#705277, BZ#712961, BZ#716973
With SELinux enabled, the rsyslogd service was previously unable to send messages encrypted with the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. This update corrects the relevant SELinux policy, and rsyslogd can now send such messages as expected.
BZ#705489
With SELinux enabled, configuring cluster fencing agents to use the SSH or Telnet protocol caused these fencing agents to fail. This update contains updated SELinux rules and introduces a new fenced_can_ssh Boolean, which allows the fencing agents to use these protocols.
BZ#706086
Due to a constraint violation, when SELinux was running in enforcing mode, the xinetd service was unable to connect to localhost and the operation failed. With this update, xinetd is now trusted to write outbound packets regardless of the network's or node's Multi-Level Security (MLS) range, which resolves this issue.
BZ#706448
Due to an incorrect SELinux policy, when the user added a NIS username to the /etc/cgrules.conf configuration file, SELinux incorrectly prevented cgroups from properly applying rules to NIS users. This update corrects this error by adding an appropriate policy so that SELinux no longer prevents cgroups from applying rules to NIS users.
BZ#707616
Previously, the SELinux Multi-Level Security (MLS) policy incorrectly prevented a MLS machine form registering with Red Hat Network. This update corrects the SELinux policy so that MLS machines can now be registered as expected.
BZ#710357
Prior to this update, various incorrect SELinux labels caused several Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages to be written to the audit log. With this update, the SELinux labels that triggered these AVC messages have been corrected so that such AVC messages no longer appear in the log.
BZ#713218
Due to incorrect SELinux policy rules, the Kerberos 5 Admin Server (kadmind) was unable to contact the LDAP server and failed to start. This update fixes the relevant policy and kadmind now starts as expected.
BZ#714620
With SELinux running in enforcing mode, the sssd service did not work properly and when any user authenticated to the sshd service using the Generic Security Services Application Program Interface (GSSAPI), subsequent authentication attempts failed. This update adds an appropriate security file context for the /var/cache/krb5cache/ directory, which allows sssd to work correctly.
BZ#715038
Previously, various labels were incorrect and rules for creating new 389-ds instances were missing. Consequent to this, when the user created a new 389-ds instance using the 389-console utility, several Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages appeared in the audit log. With this update, the erroneous labels have been fixed and missing rules have been added so that new 389-ds instances are now created without these AVC messages.
BZ#718390
Due to incorrect SELinux policies, the puppetmaster service was not allowed to get attributes of the chage utility and any attempt to do so caused Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages to be written to the audit log. With this update, the SELinux policy rules have been adapted to allow puppetmaster to perform this operation.
BZ#719261
When SELinux was running in enforcing mode, it incorrectly prevented the Postfix mail transfer agent from re-sending queued email messages. This update adds a new security file context for the /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/ directory to make sure Postfix is now allowed to re-send queued email messages as expected.
BZ#719929
The previous version of the httpd_selinux(8) manual page was incomplete and did not provide any information about the following Booleans:
  • httpd_enable_ftp_server
  • httpd_execmem
  • httpd_read_user_content
  • httpd_setrlimit
  • httpd_ssi_exec
  • httpd_tmp_exec
  • httpd_use_cifs
  • httpd_use_gpg

  • httpd_can_network_connect_db
  • httpd_can_network_connect_memcache
  • httpd_can_network_relay
  • httpd_dbus_avahi
With this update, this error no longer occurs and the aforementioned manual page now describes all available SELinux Booleans as expected.
BZ#722381
Due to the /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/ directory having an incorrect security context, an attempt to start the squeezeboxserver service with SELinux running in enforcing mode failed and Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages were written to the audit log. With this update, the security context of this directory has been corrected so that SELinux no longer prevents squeezeboxserver from starting.
BZ#725414
When a non-root user (in the unconfined_t domain) ran the ssh-keygen utility and the ~/.ssh/ directory did not exist, the utility created this directory with an incorrect security context. This update adapts the relevant SELinux policy to make sure ~/.ssh/ is now created with the correct context (the ssh_home_t type).
BZ#726339
Prior to this update, SELinux prevented the ip utility from using the sys_module capabilities, which caused various Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages to be written to the audit log. With this update, an appropriate dontaudit rule has been added to make sure such messages are no longer logged.
BZ#727130
When SELinux was running in enforcing mode, an incorrect policy prevented the grubby utility from searching DOS file systems such as FAT32 or NTFS. This update corrects the SELinux policy so that grubby can now work as expected.
