high Nessus Plugin ID 66885

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

This update fixes the following bug :

- When using some versions of Quantum with netns support, SELinux denied various operations, which caused Quantum to fail. AVCs did not appear unless in permissive mode, due to a 'dontaudit' rule for these operations. With this update, SELinux no longer denies operations using Quantum with netns support and failures no longer occur in the described scenario.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
