Description Adam Tkac 2015-07-07 18:43:47 UTC

Description of problem:
The latest selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-260.el6_6.5 update broke nrpe scripts which call sudo. Previously (selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-260.el6_6.3), nrpe_t domain could exec sudo. With new selinux-policy-targeted nrpe_t could exec sudo only when nagios_run_sudo boolean is on. Please note that this boolean didn't exist in previous policies.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-260.el6_6.5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-260.el6_6.3
2. check that nrpe_t domain can exec sudo_exec_t domain without additional settings
3. update to selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-260.el6_6.5
4. check that you must set nagios_run_sudo boolean before nrpe_t domain can exec sudo_exec_t

Actual results:
you must set nagios_run_sudo boolean to "on" when your nrpe scripts exec sudo. This is change from previous selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-260.el6_6.3 where no additional setting was needed.

Expected results:
I'm not sure if setting of new boolean is expected behavior but I would expect such change, if intentional, in next minor RHEL release, not in async update.
