Red Hat Enterprise Linux: RHSA-2020-5607-01 Critical Boot Issue Fix

An update for fapolicyd is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8) - aarch64, noarch, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64 3. Description:. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: fapolicyd bug fix update Advisory ID: RHSA-2020:5607-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:5607 Issue date: 2020-12-17 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: An update for fapolicyd is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8) - aarch64, noarch, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: The fapolicyd software framework introduces a form of file access control based on a user-defined policy. The application file access control feature provides one of the most efficient ways to prevent running untrusted and possibly malicious applications on the system. Bug Fix(es): * When an update replaces the binary of a running application, the kernel modifies the application binary path in memory by appending the " (deleted)" suffix. Previously, the fapolicyd file access policy daemon treated such applications as untrusted, and prevented them from opening and executing any other files. As a consequence, the system was sometimes unable to boot after applying updates. With this update, fapolicyd ignores the suffix in the binary path so the binary can match the trust database. As a result, fapolicyd enforces the rules correctly and the update process can finish. (BZ#1906472) * Adding DISA STIG during OS installation causes 'ipa-server-install' to fail (BZ#1905895) Note: The issue from BZ#1906472 was previously addressed in erratum RHBA-2020:5242 linked to from the References section. Due to the high impact of theissue that can cause systems to become unable to boot, we are releasing the same fix again in a security erratum to ensure proper visibility to users who only install security updates. This fix has not been changed in any way since the original bug fix erratum. This erratum does not provide any security fixes. For more details about the issue, see the Knowledgebase article linked from the References section. 4. Solution: For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 1905895 - Adding DISA STIG during OS installation causes 'ipa-server-install' to fail [rhel-8.3.0.z] 1906472 - Erratum RHBA-2020:4969 is of no help when upgrading partially RHEL 8.2 systems [rhel-8.3.0.z] 6.

Fedora Core 3: FEDORA-2005-654 Critical Mkinitrd Boot Issue Resolution

This update should fix the issue a number of people saw after the recent kernel update where various modules would fail to load during boot, making systems unbootable. After updating this package, remove, and reinstall the recent kernel update, and the initrd will be recreated correctly.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-654 2005-07-29 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : mkinitrd Version : 4.1.18.1 Release : 1 Summary : Creates an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules. Description : Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd) images. These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem. In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module. Since the kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used. The initial ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded. The ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to mount the root filesystem. The mkinitrd program creates such a ramdisk using information found in the /etc/modules.conf file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: This update should fix the issue a number of people saw after the recent kernel update where various modules would fail to load during boot, making systems unbootable. After updating this package, remove, and reinstall the recent kernel update, and the initrd will be recreated correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Thu Jul 28 2005 Peter Jones - 4.1.18.1-1 - Make nash checkpids returned from wait*() (#145660) ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: b2b1dbd6e34c1179f17a44610da4c6d6 SRPMS/mkinitrd-4.1.18.1-1.src.rpm 425fcca8b6181b20c51d89a3e7619a5b x86_64/mkinitrd-4.1.18.1-1.x86_64.rpm 2800efeea4faefc62f9f7e500ab76716 x86_64/debug/mkinitrd-debuginfo-4.1.18.1-1.x86_64.rpm 9306503189fb68006c94d44377ce9014 i386/mkinitrd-4.1.18.1-1.i386.rpm cd6b154f89f4ca6c9515c5a478914ef6 i386/debug/mkinitrd-debuginfo-4.1.18.1-1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. -----------------------------------------------------------------------fedora-announce-list mailing list This email address is being protected from spambots.
