selinux-policy update prevents ssh into ec2. Now what?

  • 772

I created a new EC2 instance using the official CentOS 7 (x86_64) HVM image.

I ran: 

yum upgrade

At:

Running transaction
Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.
  Updating   : 32:bind-license-9.9.4-14.el7_0.1.noarch                                                                       1/80
  Updating   : selinux-policy-3.12.1-153.el7_0.13.noarch                                                                     2/80

I can no longer SSH into the box :-(

I can establish a connection on port 22, but see nothing more after that running ssh client in verbose mode.

I guess mounting the EBS on another instance is my only means of recovery.

If I do that, what's the easiest way to restore ssh access? I'm not sure whether that update set selinux to enforcing, and whether that would even be the issue here?

ssh
