1.177.1. RHBA-2009:1292: bug fix update

Updated policycoreutils packages that fix several bugs are now available.
policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required for the basic operation of a Security-
Enhanced Linux (SELinux) system. These utilities include load_policy to load policies, setfiles to label
file systems, newrole to switch roles, and run_init to run "/etc/init.d/" scripts in the proper context.
These updated packages fix the following bugs:
• when attempting to change contexts, chcat reported invalid argument and insufficient space errors
because of a limit to the number of extended attributes that could be included as an argument. This
update fixes the issue.
• executing the "semanage port -{a|d|m} [-tr] [-p protocol] port" command failed if SELinux was
disabled. This update adds support for selecting a store with semanage so that application policies
can be updated when SELinux is disabled.
• genhomedircon could not process a HOME_DIR with a context <<none>>. This condition has been
added and the problem has been resolved.
• restorecond.conf did not include definitions for ~/web or ~/www directories. The paths for these
directories have been added to restorecond.conf, resolving this issue.
• chcat did not translate category IDs to name strings when a user belonged to multiple categories.
chcat and setrans.conf have been modified so that category IDs are translated as expected on all
architectures and the error no longer presents.
• clicking on the table header in system-config-selinux network port view should have toggled
numerical sorting of values, but did not activate the sort method. This update fixes the sort order
action for the ports page.
• policycoreutils did not support the use of "semodule -DB" when removing dontaudit messages.
Upstream "semodule -DB" support has been added so that users have a simple mechanism to
remove all dontaudit rules while building policies.
Users of policycoreutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these
issues.
