Description Lukas Vrabec 2016-06-07 15:06:50 UTC
Description of problem:
systemd-hwdb update doing:
Deleting /etc/udev/hwdb.bin file, then file "/etc/udev/.#hwdb.binXXXXXX" is created and after then renamed to /etc/udev/hwdb.bin
This is problem from SELinux policy point of view. I cannot create filename transtion rule for file ".#hwdb.binXXXXXX" due to non-constant name.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-219-20.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.# rm /etc/udev/hwdb.bin
2.# systemd-hwdb update
3.# ls -Z /etc/hwdb.bin

Actual results:
ls -Z hwdb.bin 
unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 hwdb.bin

Expected results:
ls -Z hwdb.bin 
unconfined_u:object_r:systemd_hwdb_etc_t:s0 hwdb.bin

Comment 11 Michal Sekletar 2016-07-07 15:20:12 UTC
Seems like this also requires changes on SELinux policy side. What do you think Lukas?

Comment 12 Lukas Vrabec 2016-07-07 15:24:16 UTC
Michal, 
Agree, fixes for this issue are included in selinux-policy-3.13.1-85.el7 build.

Comment 13 Michal Sekletar 2016-07-07 16:43:39 UTC
Jan,

Can you please retest with updated version of selinux-policy? From beaker logs it looks like you have been testing with selinux-policy-3.13.1-84.el7.

With

selinux-policy-3.13.1-85.el7.noarch
systemd-219-22.el7.x86_64

the problem still seems to be present.

Comment 20 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2016-07-11 12:31:40 UTC
I'm concerned about the state of this bugzilla. It is marked VERIFIED with systemd-219-22.el7.x86_64 but the AVC denial is still there with systemd-219-22.el7.x86_64.

Do we need the steps to reproduce amended?

Do we need a separate bugzilla for the AVC denials?

Comment 21 Michal Sekletar 2016-07-11 12:48:58 UTC
Remaining AVC denial should be fixed by changes in SELinux policy, already included in selinux-policy-3.13.1-86.el7 and by patch in systemd (already merged upstream, backport will be included in next RHEL-7.3-candidate build). Moving back to ASSIGNED.

Comment 22 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-07-11 12:53:56 UTC
and patch for that was merged to staging -> https://github.com/lnykryn/systemd-rhel/commit/0860805a09ce6c2c2136306bdf64d58621368291 -> post

Comment 30 Branislav Blaškovič 2016-08-08 12:28:00 UTC
Works, so we depends on the newest selinux-policy.

I haven't seen that AVC denial for some time on 7.3 nightly builds. Thanks.

That's great, thank you very much for quick response.
