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 Chris Adams 2013-09-26 19:28:48 UTC
I store amavisd-new configuration information in a MySQL database, but the SELinux policy prevents amavis_t from connecting to MySQL (amavisd-new also support PostgreSQL).

type=AVC msg=audit(1380216717.948:14804): avc:  denied  { name_connect } for  pid=22644 comm="amavisd" dest=3306 scontext=system_u:system_r:amavis_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mysqld_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2013-09-28 10:23:42 UTC
Well in Fedora we allow amavis to connect to myqsql stream socket, so I don't see a big difference in allowing this (In latest Fedora/RHEL7 amavis domain has been consolidated into antivirus_t)

Not sure it would be worth adding a boolean for this.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2013-10-10 13:19:51 UTC
Well it has been also fixed in RHEL6.5 and we have antivirus_domain also here.

#cat /tmp/log|audit2allow


#============= amavis_t ==============

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow amavis_t mysqld_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect

So it will be a part of RHEL6.5 updates. You can add a local policy for now to allow it.

Comment 4 Chris Adams 2013-10-10 13:22:19 UTC
Thanks - I was already planning to add a temp local policy, and will watch for the update.
