In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4, an SELinux allow rule for the keepalived utility was missing. Consequently, SELinux denial occurred when keepalived had been run. With this update, the missing rule has been added, and keepalived is now working with SELinux in Enforcing mode.
Description of problem:
In RHEL 7.4, keepalived was rebased to version 1.3.5. After upgrade from RHEL 7.3 with keepalived-1.2.13-9, avc denials started to appear.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
keepalived-1.3.5-1.el7.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.13.1-166.el7.noarch
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to keepalived-1.3.5-1.el7
2. Run keepalived
Actual results:
type=AVC msg=audit(1504016429.630:5751): avc: denied { setpgid } for pid=10662 comm="keepalived" scontext=system_u:system_r:keepalived_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:keepalived_t:s0 tclass=process
Expected results:
no avc denial
Additional info:
downgrading keepalived to 1.2.13-9 makes the software working again
custom policy based on the avc helps as well
