SELinux context for /var/run/XXX should be set as the ovs daemons are started. Need someone from the selinux team to understand why this context is being set. Change the context back once this is understood. Neither OvS package nor ovs-selinux package set these explicitly. Cédric, I know you helped with a number of patches to help openstack / openvswitch / containers to work well together, is this a case where we need some additional rules in openstack-selinux here? Or the context shouldn't have changed? Saravanan, would it be possible to attach the audit.log file? Were there any other related AVCs? I am not seeing anything obvious in openstack-selinux that would change the context for /var/run/openvswitch so wondering if it may be related to something in THT.

audit.log on compute for seliux enforcing
Hello there Soooo... that location (/var/run/openvswitch) is mounted within containers: deployment/neutron/neutron-ovs-agent-container-puppet.yaml: - /var/run/openvswitch/:/var/run/openvswitch/:shared,z The "z" flag calls a relabelling, usually in order to prevent write (and read) access from within the container. In order to sort this situation, I think that a patch in openstack-selinux might be the right thing, allowing openvswitch_t to access/write into container_file_t. I don't think this opens any major security issue, and is probably better that way than allowing container_t to do stuff in openvswitch_file_t. Does it help, Julie? Sorry for the delay, didn't see that one before. Cheers, C. Note that we'll need to drop the ":z" flag from t-h-t as soon as we get a new package for openstack-selinux. That patch only (PR 46 against openstack-selinux) won't be sufficient. Not sure about the "shared" one, but iirc it is useless (no mount within the location). @Julie: feel free to ping me once a package is issued so that I can do the t-h-t modification+tests :). Cédric, thanks! The patch is now included in package openstack-selinux-0.8.20-0.20191125121841.a4fcc2c.el8ost. I'm not sure whether to switch this bug to MODIFIED or if it needs to depend on or be reused for the THT fix you mention? @Julie: well, we probably want a new BZ for t-h-t, and add the depends-on + MODIFIED for the current one. -> is there already a BZ for t-h-t on that topic, or... ? Feel free to create it and give it to me. We'd "just" need to ensure upstream CI already has that package in order to not break things.

Cloned this bug and assigned it to you as requested -> bug 1776326. It looks like the openstack-selinux fix should be enough on its own - Saravanan, would you still have the environment and be able to confirm if the new package gets you past the issue? Thank you.

Thank you. I will try to verify this package or I will check Vadim has the environment. We will update the bz after checking it. Using this package, I did not face the permission issue. And ovs-vswitchd started succesfully with Enforcing mode. No changes done on the templates, only this new package is used. Wonderful, thank you for checking!
