Description of problem: When updating udev, the udev daemon is restarted in the post scriptlet which causes it to change the SELinux context. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-2.4.6-255 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Uvh udev-095-14.21.i386.rpm 2. ps -Z grep udev Actual results: [root@localhost i386]# ps -AZ | grep udev system_u:system_r:udev_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh 343 ? 00:00:01 udevd [root@localhost i386]# rpm -Uvh udev-095-14.21.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:udev ########################################### [100%] [root@localhost i386]# ps -AZ | grep udev user_u:system_r:rpm_script_t 3973 ? 00:00:00 udevd Expected results: the context remains system_u:system_r:udev_t. Additional info: This bug has been already fixed somewhere between selinux-policy-2.4.6-255 and selinux-policy-2.4.6-257 but I was unable to find a corresponding bugreport. I have been asked to create one for tracking purposes and to ensure the fix is tested in 5.5.
Not sure when it was fixed but I will say Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-257.el5
