If matchpathcon returns <<none>> then the selinux.restorecon() causes traceback.

Comment 1 Petr Lautrbach 2017-01-10 11:14:25 UTC

Is this considered a high severity issue? If not, it doesn't meet Production phase 2 criteria and I will have to close it.

Comment 2 Petr Lautrbach 2017-01-10 11:16:58 UTC

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406520#c14 The original reporter stated that they don't need this to be fixed in RHEL-6

Comment 3 J. Guthrie 2017-01-19 17:52:48 UTC

I am seeing this issue in CentOS 6.8 in case that makes a difference:

My apologies, I didn't read the initial description carefully the first time.  I'm sorry about the noise repeating the description.

Comment 5 Milos Malik 2017-07-17 08:05:42 UTC

This is not a high severity issue.

Comment 6 Petr Lautrbach 2017-10-02 14:24:59 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 transitioned to the Production 3 Phase on May 10, 2017.  During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:
http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle

This issue does not appear to meet the inclusion criteria for the Production Phase 3 and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification.
