Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2022-02-23 16:04:06 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1919300 +++

Description of problem:
After installing hardened RHEL8 system (with either PCI-DSS, E8 or HIPAA profile) the rule rpm_verify_permissions reports a finding that the folder /var/lib/AccountsService/icons (from accountsservice RPM) has different permissions compared to the ones expected in the package metadata stored in the rpm database.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
accountsservice-0.6.55-1.el8

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start RHEL8 installation
2. Select Server with GUI package group
3. Select PCI-DSS, E8, or HIPAA profile
4. Log into the system after installation and verify installed files by the package accountsservice against the files taken from the package metadata stored in the rpm database:
# rpm -Va accountsservice
.M.......    /var/lib/AccountsService/icons
# ls -l /var/lib/AccountsService/
total 0
drwxrwxr-x. 2 root root  6 Jan 15 19:03 icons
drwx------. 2 root root 18 Jan 22 11:34 users

5. Fix the permissions for the affected folder:
# rpm --setperms accountsservice
# rpm -Va accountsservice
# ls -l /var/lib/AccountsService/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root  6 Jan 15 19:03 icons
drwx------. 2 root root 18 Jan 22 11:34 users

6. Reboot the system and verify the installed files after the reboot once more (issue is back):
# rpm -Va accountsservice
.M.......    /var/lib/AccountsService/icons
# ls -l /var/lib/AccountsService/
total 0
drwxrwxr-x. 2 root root  6 Jan 15 19:03 icons
drwx------. 2 root root 18 Jan 22 11:34 users


Actual results:
Installed directory /var/lib/AccountsService/icons (from accountsservice RPM) has different permissions compared to the ones expected by the package metadata stored in the rpm database. Also after fixing the permissions they change again after rebooting the system.

Expected results:
Installed directory /var/lib/AccountsService/icons (from accountsservice RPM) has the same permissions as expected by the package metadata stored in the rpm database.

The issue is reproducible on RHEL9 Beta as well. There is no need to reboot the system to reproduce the issue.
I am able to reproduce this issue after changing the runlevel only.
