Synopsis
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
This update adds the following enhancements :- Previously, SELinux was blocking the /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm utility during a migration of a virtual machine from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. Consequently, such a migration attempt failed and AVC messages were returned. This update fixes the virt_use_fusefs boolean and adds the sanlock_use_fusefs boolean, thus allowing the migration to succeed in the described scenario.
- When trying to start a virtual machine on a POSIX-compliant file system, SELinux denied the operation and returned AVC messages. This update amends the SELinux policy to allow the described scenario to succeed.
This update has been placed in the security tree to avoid selinux bugs.
