Description Milos Malik 2019-12-04 20:48:13 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1729571 +++

Description of problem:
 * SELinux policy defines types: utempter_t (process type) and utempter_exec_t (file type)
 * but there is an incorrect file context pattern which means that the utempter binary is not labeled utempter_exec_t which means that no process transitions into utempter_t domain

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libutempter-1.1.6-4.el7.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.13.1-266.el7.noarch
selinux-policy-devel-3.13.1-266.el7.noarch
selinux-policy-mls-3.13.1-266.el7.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-266.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
 * always

Steps to Reproduce:
# semanage fcontext -l | grep utempter
/usr/sbin/utempter                      regular file       system_u:object_r:utempter_exec_t:s0 
# ls -l /usr/sbin/utempter
ls: cannot access '/usr/sbin/utempter': No such file or directory
# ls -lZ /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter
-rwx--s--x. root utmp system_u:object_r:utempter_exec_t:s0 /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter
# rpm -qf /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter
libutempter-1.1.6-4.el7.x86_64
#

Actual results:
 * /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter is labeled incorrectly

Expected results:
 * /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter is labeled correctly

Additional information:
 * the same problem is already fixed in RHEL-8.1

Comment 3 Lukas Vrabec 2019-12-05 09:11:21 UTC

This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next minor release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
