Description Fabian Arrotin 2016-11-25 16:46:47 UTC
Description of problem:

Since the update to selinux-policy-3.13.1-102.el7.noarch, trying to restart zabbix-agent fails as it's blocked by selinux : 

type=AVC msg=audit(1480001303.440:2626): avc:  denied  { setrlimit } for  pid=22682 comm="zabbix_agentd" scontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tclass=process

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.13.1-102.el7.noarch


Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a system running el7.2 and running zabbix-agent
2. update to el7.3 and reboot
3. zabbix-agent doesn't start

Actual results:
zabbix-agent fails to start

Expected results:
zabbix-agent able to start as before

Additional info:

Following .te (to build a custom .pp) allows zabbix-agent to start as before, while keeping selinux in enforcing mode  

require {
	type zabbix_agent_t;
	class process setrlimit;
}

#============= zabbix_agent_t ==============
allow zabbix_agent_t self:process setrlimit;
