RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Testing out dovecot on EL6.1, seeing:
type=AVC msg=audit(1319755026.871:90): avc: denied { sys_nice } for pid=2602 comm="auth" capability=23 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_auth_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_auth_t:s0 tclass=capability
type=AVC msg=audit(1319755026.871:90): avc: denied { setsched } for pid=2602 comm="auth" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_auth_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dovecot_auth_t:s0 tclass=process
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.7.19-93.el6_1.7.noarch
Seems to happen when a user logs in. Doesn't appear to affect anything.
cat /usr/include/linux/capability.h
...
/* Allow raising priority and setting priority on other (different
UID) processes */
/* Allow use of FIFO and round-robin (realtime) scheduling on own
processes and setting the scheduling algorithm used by another
process. */
/* Allow setting cpu affinity on other processes */
#define CAP_SYS_NICE 23
Looks liked dovecot_auth_t is changing #2
/* Allow use of FIFO and round-robin (realtime) scheduling on own
processes and setting the scheduling algorithm used by another
process. */
I just added this to F16 policy. Strange that we have never seen this before. Has there been a new release of dovecot?
Not recently:
* Thu Jan 13 2011 Michal Hlavinka <mhlavink> - 1:2.0.9-1
- dovecot updated to 2.0.9
* Thu Jan 13 2011 Michal Hlavinka <mhlavink> - 1:2.0.8-1
- dovecot updated to 2.0.8 (fixes #654226), pigeonhole updated to 0.2.2
Not sure when it got pushed out though.
