"This update adds the following enhancements :

  - When the system produces a new SELinux denial, the
    setroubleshootd daemon executes the rpm tool to check
    information about the relevant packages. Previously,
    setroubleshootd was unable to execute the rpm tool, and
    AVC denials were logged in the /var/log/audit/audit.log
    file. With this update, the relevant policy has been
    corrected so that SELinux denials are no longer produced
    in the described scenario.

  - A number of additional enhancements have provided by
    upstream in this release.

This update has been placed in the security tree to avoid system
issues related to possible changes in how the applications interface
with the selinux policy."
