Description Orion Poplawski 2017-12-29 18:02:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

The zabbix agent can collect package information, but SELinux blocks this.  From permissive mode:

type=AVC msg=audit(1514570217.067:316881): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=337 comm="sh" name="rpm" dev="vda2" ino=106947835 scontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
type=AVC msg=audit(1514570217.070:316882): avc:  denied  { execute_no_trans } for  pid=338 comm="sh" path="/usr/bin/rpm" dev="vda2" ino=106947835 scontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
type=AVC msg=audit(1514570217.158:316883): avc:  denied  { open } for  pid=340 comm="rpm" path="/var/lib/rpm/Packages" dev="vda2" ino=33554571 scontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=file

Perhaps this should be made a boolean, although if only read access is given perhaps it's not very sensitive.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
