Have you tried to relabel modprobe.d with "restorecon -rvF /etc/modprobe.d"?

Comment 4 Tomas Dolezal 2017-08-08 09:40:54 UTC

granting qa_ack for 7.5; RPL

Comment 5 Trevor Hemsley 2017-08-30 13:42:12 UTC

I am also seeing this - on each reboot I get 6 selinux denials logged in my audit.log - one for each file in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf. The code in question comes from line 212 in /usr/libexec/iptables/iptables.init where it is trying to determine if ipv6 has been disabled.

Files in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf look correctly labeled to me and restorecon -RvF /etc/modprobe.d returns no output showing that it made no changes - thus answering the question about trying the relabel.

type=AVC msg=audit(1504094765.370:28): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=661 comm="grep" name="blacklist-iscsi.conf" dev="dm-0" ino=782889 scontext=system_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:modules_conf_t:s0 tclass=file

Problem only happens when iptables.service is started by systemd as part of the boot. If you run systemctl restart iptables then nothing is logged. Running the AVCs through audit2allow generates:

require {
        type iptables_t;
        type modules_conf_t;
        class file read;
}

#============= iptables_t ==============
allow iptables_t modules_conf_t:file read;

So this seems like just a case of missing selinux policy, therefore moving this ticket to selinux-policy component.

I believe this bug is a duplicate of BZ#1438937.
