Synopsis
libselinux bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated libselinux packages are now available as part of ongoing support
and maintenance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
Description
Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux kernel and a number
of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add
mandatory access controls to Linux. libselinux provides an API for SELinux
applications to get and set process and file security contexts and to
obtain security policy decisions.
If rpm cannot ascertain if SELinux is enabled, it is unable to execute its
post-installation scripts.
The function call rpm_exec in libselinux reads /proc and /selinux when
checking if SELinux is enabled. If these directories are not mounted, as
would be the case in a chroot environment, rpm_exec interprets the non-zero
return code (-1) as an indication that SELinux is enabled. It then fails to
set the execute context, which causes rpm scripts to fail.
All users of libselinux are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
