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.

Comment 1 Ondrej Moriš 2015-09-09 15:37:14 UTC 
So far I experienced the following policy issue with libreswan on rhel6:

_stackmanager is denied the following read access:

To reproduce, just start ipsec service.
Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2015-09-10 15:20:11 UTC 
Ondrej,
thank you for testing. Could you run some tests in permissive mode and collect all AVCs?

Created attachment 1072594 [details]
selinux policy update for libreswan in RHEL6

This patch contains changes required to the selinux policy for libreswan. I'm not sure if some of this has already been backported from rhel7

That's great. Thank you.
Comment 12 Tuomo Soini 2016-03-07 17:24:02 UTC 
One more change is needed for XAUTH server mode PAM authentication:

+auth_use_pam(ipsec_t)

Could you create a new bug with AVCs?

Thank you.
Comment 14 Tuomo Soini 2016-03-14 08:38:06 UTC 
bug #1315700 has AVCs - those should be quite same for rhel6.
