Description Milos Malik 2017-07-10 14:44:49 UTC

Description of problem:
* there are setroubleshoot plugins which are able to analyze execheap, execmod and execstack AVCs, but there is no plugin which would be able to correctly analyze execmem AVCs and which would provide a relevant advice
* selinux-policy brings several booleans related to execmem AVCs

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
setroubleshoot-server-3.2.28-3.el7.x86_64
setroubleshoot-3.2.28-3.el7.x86_64
setroubleshoot-plugins-3.0.65-1.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
* always

Actual results:
* allow_execmem plugin does not exist

Expected results:
* allow_execmem plugin exists

Comment 3 Zdenek Pytela 2019-02-27 13:59:23 UTC

This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
