Scientific Linux Security Update : selinux-policy on SL6.x i386/x86_64 (20120307)

high Nessus Plugin ID 61279

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update fixes the following bugs :

 - An incorrect SELinux policy prevented the qpidd service from connecting to the AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) port when the qpidd daemon was configured with Corosync clustering. These selinux-policy packages contain updated SELinux rules, which allow the qpidd service to be started correctly.

 - With SELinux in enforcing mode, an OpenMPI job submitted to the parallel universe environment failed on ssh keys generation. This happened because the ssh-keygen utility was not able to read from and write to the '/var/lib/condor/' directory'. With this update, a new SELinux policy has been added for the '/var/lib/condor/' directory, which allows the ssh-keygen utility to read from and write to this directory.SL6.x

Solution

Update the affected packages.
