Fedora 8: FEDORA-2008-2100 Critical: Setroubleshoot Upgrade Details

fedora
Calendar Grey February 28, 2008
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Significant enhancement boosts audit information management in setroubleshoot alongside correcting bugs and refining performance.
This is a major upgrade of setroubleshoot

Summary

This package provides a set of analysis plugins for use with

setroubleshoot. Each plugin has the capacity to analyze SELinux AVC

data and system data to provide user friendly reports describing how

to interpret SELinux AVC denials.

This is a major upgrade of setroubleshoot. The primary difference is how audit

data is captured, analyzed, and stored. Security vulnerabilities, performance,

usability, and robustness have been addressed in addition to general bug fixes.

Important Installation Notes: The format of the persistent data store has

changed, after installation the alert database will be newly initialized and

previous alerts will be lost. For most users this will not be an issue since

alerts are ephemeral and if the alerting issue persists a new alert will be

generated in the new format the next time it occurs. Also, some users may

experience an error dialog from sealert during installation due to the order in

which files are installed, this may safely be ignored and is a known issue.

After installation the sealert desktop component should be restarted, this can

be achieved by logging out of your desktop sesson or by issuing the following

commands from within the desktop session. % sealert -q % sealert -s
