1. Summary:

 

An update for setroubleshoot and setroubleshoot-plugins is now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, noarch, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

The setroubleshoot packages provide tools to help diagnose SELinux

problems. When Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages are returned, an alert

can be generated that provides information about the problem and helps to

track its resolution.

 

The setroubleshoot-plugins 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.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* Shell command injection flaws were found in the way the setroubleshoot

executed external commands. A local attacker able to trigger certain

SELinux denials could use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with root

privileges. (CVE-2016-4445, CVE-2016-4989)

 

* Shell command injection flaws were found in the way the setroubleshoot

allow_execmod and allow_execstack plugins executed external commands. A

local attacker able to trigger an execmod or execstack SELinux denial could

use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

(CVE-2016-4444, CVE-2016-4446)

 

The CVE-2016-4444 and CVE-2016-4446 issues were discovered by Milos Malik
