Scientific Linux Security Update : selinux-policy on SL6.x i386/x86_64 (20120709)
high Nessus Plugin ID 61359
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
This update adds the following enhancements :- When the system produces a new SELinux denial, the setroubleshootd daemon executes the rpm tool to check information about the relevant packages. Previously, setroubleshootd was unable to execute the rpm tool, and AVC denials were logged in the /var/log/audit/audit.log file. With this update, the relevant policy has been corrected so that SELinux denials are no longer produced in the described scenario.
- A number of additional enhancements have provided by upstream in this release.
This update has been placed in the security tree to avoid system issues related to possible changes in how the applications interface with the selinux policy.
Solution
