Doc Text:
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 Zdenek Pytela 2017-08-30 09:44:22 UTC
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

So when can we expect the new selinux-policy package to be available in the repository?

Comment 11 Filip Krska 2017-11-29 09:08:49 UTC
The 7.4.z Errata shall be released in matter of days if everything goes well.
