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 Michele Baldessari 2015-09-29 19:38:40 UTC
Description of problem:
Likely this is a selinux issue, but first filing against fence-virt in case I
missed something obvious. This is my /etc/fence_virt.conf:
ence_virtd {
        listener = "multicast";
        backend = "libvirt";
}

listeners {
        multicast {
                key_file = "/etc/cluster/fence_xvm.key";
                address = "225.0.0.12";
                interface = "br-ctlplane";
        }
}

backends {
        libvirt { 
                uri = "qemu+ssh://root.122.1/system";
        }
}

Even with the following selinux booleans set to on:
setsebool -P fenced_can_ssh=on fenced_can_network_connect=on

I get the following AVC:
type=AVC msg=audit(1443550953.402:47395): avc:  denied  { setcap } for  pid=31310 comm=fence_virtd" scontext=system_u:system_r:fenced_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:fenced_t:s0 tclass=process

If I start fence_virtd via root or if I disable selinux it works correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fence-virt-0.3.2-1.el7.src.rpm
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-23.el7_1.18.noarch

Feel free to reassign to selinux-policy if you agree with the analysis

How reproducible:
100%

Comment 2 Chris Feist 2015-10-14 19:51:32 UTC
Re-assigning this to selinux-policy since we're getting an avc denial when we're attempting to do normal fencing operations.
