FYI, I sent pull requests to upstream refpolicy and Fedora policy that should fix this issue: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/refpolicy/pull/53 https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/265 Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below.

Description of problem: The /usr/share/selinux/devel/include/Makefile directives contain a "find" which break when a file in the current directory has some special character such as a parenthesis. This is cosmetic only, the module builds anyway. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-devel-3.14.1-61.el8.noarch and lower (RHEL 7 is affected also) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a custom module foo.te: module foo 1.0; -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- require { class file entrypoint; type shell_exec_t; type vmtools_unconfined_t; } # Allow transitioning to unconfined when executing a shell allow vmtools_unconfined_t shell_exec_t : file entrypoint; -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- 2. Touch a file in current directory with a parenthesis # touch "my broken (file)" 3. Build the module # make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile foo.pp Actual results: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /bin/sh: -c: line 0: `find anaconda-ks.cfg my broken (file) vncserver.strace systemd.strace rhel-server-7.6-x86_64-boot.iso rt_minimal.c vnc.cil foo.te rsyslog tmp virt-install.log evil_banner.sh livemedia.log program.log foo.if rhel7-minimal.ks TestZip.java TestZip.class foo.fc sudoloop foo.pp strace.log -maxdepth 0 -type d' Expected results: No "syntax error"
