Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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: There appears to be policy written to handle the way ``ip netns add foo'' handles mounting, but it is only for files, not directories: allow ifconfig_t ifconfig_var_run_t:file mounton; This policy should cover directories as well, as running the command above fails with the following audit messages: type=EXECVE msg=audit(1464390580.741:115465): argc=4 a0="ip" a1="netns" a2="add" a3="foo" type=CWD msg=audit(1464390580.741:115465): cwd="/" type=PATH msg=audit(1464390580.741:115465): item=0 name="/usr/sbin/ip" inode=671152156 dev=fd:00 mode=0100755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0 objtype=NORMAL type=PATH msg=audit(1464390580.741:115465): item=1 name="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" inode=134225977 dev=fd:00 mode=0100755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:ld_so_t:s0 objtype=NORMAL type=AVC msg=audit(1464390580.742:115466): avc: denied { mounton } for pid=6336 comm="ip" path="/run/netns" dev="tmpfs" ino=144036 scontext=system_u:system_r:ifconfig_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ifconfig_var_run_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1464390580.742:115466): arch=c000003e syscall=165 success=no exit=-22 a0=440894 a1=43b3ea a2=43c5ed a3=104000 items=2 ppid=1064 pid=6336 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="ip" exe="/usr/sbin/ip" subj=system_u:system_r:ifconfig_t:s0 key=(null) type=CWD msg=audit(1464390580.742:115466): cwd="/" type=PATH msg=audit(1464390580.742:115466): item=0 name="/var/run/netns" objtype=UNKNOWN type=PATH msg=audit(1464390580.742:115466): item=1 name="/var/run/netns" inode=144036 dev=00:12 mode=040755 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:ifconfig_var_run_t:s0 objtype=NORMAL Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iproute-3.10.0-54.el7.x86_64 selinux-policy-3.13.1-60.el7_2.3.noarch How reproducible: When enforcing Steps to Reproduce: 1. setenforce 1 2. ip netns add foo 3. ip netns list Actual results: mount --make-shared /var/run/netns failed: Permission denied Expected results: foo
