RHBA-2008:0889 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
usermode bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated usermode packages that fix a bug are now available.
Description
The usermode package contains the userhelper program, which can be used to
allow configured programs to be run with superuser privileges by ordinary
users.
The userhelper utility was explicitly changing the SELinux context of the
programs it executed, thus interfering with operation of the SELinux
policy. In these updated packages, userhelper no longer changes the SELinux
context of programs it executes, thus resolving this bug.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated usermode packages, which
resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
