RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0314 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE selinux-policy bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:35:01 UTC

Description Hans de Goede 2012-08-24 09:52:39 UTC 
For 6.4 spice-vdagent is being rebased to the latest upstream version (bug 842355). As part of this rebase it is moving to syslog instead of using its own logging code (bug 747894, fdo#49092). The selinux policy will need to be adjusted for this.

Note for testing: current spice-vdagent package do not use syslog yet, but ones which do will be available soon.
Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-08-24 12:36:56 UTC 
will backport from Fedora.
