Synopsis: Low: selinux-policy enhancement update
Issue date: 2013-06-03

This update adds the following enhancements:

Previously, the mysqld_safe script was unable to execute a shell (/bin/sh)
with the shell_exec_t SELinux security context. Consequently, the mysql55 and
mariadb55 Software Collection packages were not working correctly. With this
update, SELinux policy rules have been updated and these packages now work as
expected.

This update has been placed in the security tree to avoid selinux bugs.
