Fixed In Version: policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.20.el6_2 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When installing packages on the system in (Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) mode, parsing errors could occur and installation failed. This was caused by the "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sepolgen/yacc.py" parser, which used MD5 checksums that are not supported in FIPS mode. This update modifies the parser to use SHA-256 checksums and installation process is now successful.
