Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Description Milos Malik 2013-12-13 17:43:29 UTC
Description of problem:
 * mip6d uses too powerful SELinux domain

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mipv6-daemon-2.0.2.20110203bgit-1.el6.x86_64
selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-231.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-3.7.19-231.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-231.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-231.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-doc-3.7.19-231.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# service mip6d status
mip6d is stopped
# service mip6d start
Starting mip6d:                                            [  OK  ]
# service mip6d status
mip6d (pid 25935) is running...
# ps -efZ | grep mip6d
unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 root   25935     1  0 18:30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mip6d
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 root 25961 3863  0 18:31 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mip6d
#

Actual results:
 * mip6d runs as initrc_t

Expected results:
 * mip6d runs in its own SELinux domain
