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 Nate Straz 2014-10-10 16:46:18 UTC 
Description of problem:

When running a cluster with selinux-policy-3.12.1-153.el7_0.10.noarch, corosync is running in the wrong context, unconfined_service_t.

[root@virt-087 ~]# ps -ZC corosync
LABEL                             PID TTY          TIME CMD
system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 15278 ? 00:00:05 corosync


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.12.1-153.el7_0.10.noarch

How reproducible:
Easily


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to selinux-policy-3.12.1-153.el7_0.10.noarch
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:

[root@host-028 ~]# rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.12.1-153.el7_0.10.noarch
[root@host-028 ~]# ps -ZC corosync
LABEL                             PID TTY          TIME CMD
system_u:system_r:cluster_t:s0   1010 ?        00:01:01 corosync



Additional info:
Comment 1 Nate Straz 2014-10-10 16:47:58 UTC 
Oops, the affected version is selinux-policy-3.13.1-4.el7.noarch
Comment 3 Milos Malik 2014-10-10 21:13:26 UTC 
Hopefully, my analysis is correct:

# grep -i exec /lib/systemd/system/corosync.service 
ExecStart=/usr/share/corosync/corosync start
ExecStop=/usr/share/corosync/corosync stop
#ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe softdog soft_margin=60

The systemd unit file does not execute /usr/sbin/corosync directly, but through another script:

# matchpathcon /usr/share/corosync/corosync
/usr/share/corosync/corosync	system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0

And here comes the default behavior introduced by policy >= 3.13:

# sesearch -s init_t -t usr_t -c process -T
Found 1 semantic te rules:
   type_transition init_t usr_t : process unconfined_service_t; 

# sesearch -s init_t -t bin_t -c process -T
Found 1 semantic te rules:
   type_transition init_t bin_t : process unconfined_service_t; 

#

Once the /usr/share/corosync/corosync file is executed, the process does a transition into unconfined_service_t and the only way how to leave this context is following:

# sesearch -s unconfined_service_t -c process -T
Found 1 semantic te rules:
   type_transition unconfined_service_t abrt_helper_exec_t : process abrt_helper_t; 

#

This is of course unpleasant behavior, because services / daemons / agents which are already confined should not end up running as unconfined_service_t.
Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2014-10-13 09:08:50 UTC 
The problem is they don't tell us that they change a path to executable.commit

    Label /usr/share/corosync/corosync as cluster_exec_t.
