Fixed In Version: frr-7.5.1-3.el8 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The `frr` binary files and scripts have a new location Previously, the `frr` package for managing dynamic routing stack contained its binary files and scripts in the `/usr/lib/frr` directory, which caused certain issues when applying the new targeted SELinux policy. Consequently, SELinux logged denial messages in access vector cache (AVC) and prevented `frr` from starting properly. With this update, `/usr/libexec/frr` is the new location of the `frr` binary files and scripts. As a result, SELinux applies rules for binaries and scripts in `/usr/libexec/frr` and for other `frr` libraries in `/usr/lib64/frr` separately, and no longer produces denial messages.

It looks like fedora bug exists too.

Comment 2 Zdenek Pytela 2021-03-23 12:48:18 UTC
Confining the frr service in its own selinux policy module is being worked on in bz#1714984, we expect the fix be delivered in RHEL 8.5.

The SELinux denials say /usr/lib/frr/watchfrr process was running under init_t and did something unexpected. Is watchfrr a service which should be running for a long time, or is it a one-time script that finishes quickly?

Hi, according to the user manual:

"WATCHFRR is a daemon that handles failed daemon processes and intelligently restarts them as needed."
