Description Vojtech Sazel 2020-06-22 09:01:22 UTC

Description of problem:
Can't use semanage fcontext to set type on directory with non-ASCII characters.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.14.5-40.fc32.noarch
policycoreutils-python-utils-3.0-2.fc32.noarch
rsync-daemon-3.1.3-11.fc32.noarch

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create directories /important, /important/backup and /important/backup/Řepy
2. semanage fcontext -a -t rsync_data_t /important
3. semanage fcontext -a -t rsync_data_t /important/backup
4. semanage fcontext -a -t rsync_data_t /important/backup/Řepy

Actual results:
2. command works, sets rsync_data_t
3. command works, sets rsync_data_t
4. 
# semanage fcontext -a -t rsync_data_t "/important/backup/Řepy"
/sbin/setfiles: /var/lib/selinux/final/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:  line 6 error due to: Non-ASCII characters found
/sbin/setfiles: /var/lib/selinux/final/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local:  line 6 error due to: Non-ASCII characters found
/var/lib/selinux/final/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: Invalid argument
libsemanage.semanage_validate_and_compile_fcontexts: setfiles returned error code 1.
OSError: [Errno 0] Error

Expected results:
2. command works, sets rsync_data_t
3. command works, sets rsync_data_t
4. command works, sets rsync_data_t

Additional info:
rsync and rsync-daemon are installed.

There were some reports of this already in past (Googled for it), but it seems that it's some kind of a recurring problem.

Comment 2 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 17:04:06 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 35 development cycle.
