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 Robert Scheck 2017-02-01 11:06:28 UTC 
Still happens with selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-102.el7_3.7.noarch and
subscription-manager-1.17.15-1.el7.x86_64:

type=AVC msg=audit(1485888866.444:1569873): avc:  denied  { kill } for  pid=25514 comm="rhsmcertd-worke" capability=5  scontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tclass=capability

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2017-02-01 11:10:08 UTC 
Based on the time (Tue, 31 Jan 2017 19:54:38 +0100 (CET)), there is a match
in the /var/log/rhsm/rhsmcertd.log file:

Tue Jan 31 11:54:26 2017 [INFO] (Cert Check) Certificates updated.

Wed Feb  1 07:54:28 2017 [INFO] (Cert Check) Certificates updated.
Wed Feb  1 11:54:26 2017 [INFO] (Cert Check) Certificates updated.

Conclusion: RHSM internal routine triggers this (as assumed before).
Comment 9 Robert Scheck 2018-01-10 13:18:38 UTC 
Okay, when will selinux-policy-3.13.1-175.el7 be made available? This issue
exists now for 1+ year...I even had to figure out via Google that I already 
reported the issue when receiving this AVC message for a new host :-(
