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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2017:1861 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE selinux-policy bug fix update 2017-08-01 17:50:24 UTC

Description Marko Myllynen 2016-12-13 11:32:14 UTC
Description of problem:
With the default main.cf which has:

# Enable IPv4, and IPv6 if supported
inet_protocols = all

Booting with ipv6.disable=1 we can see constant AVCs:

type=AVC msg=audit(1481628221.412:81): avc:  denied  { module_request } for  pid=1597 comm="postfix" kmod="net-pf-10" scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_master_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 tclass=system

Please close this if you consider this being a configuration issue (but given the comment in the configuration file this might be something to adjust). Thanks.

Comment 1 Marko Myllynen 2016-12-13 11:36:13 UTC
Actually, I see similar AVC from PCP and chronyd as well. Re-assigning to selinux-policy, probably best to fix there (if at all). Thanks.

Comment 6 Lukas Vrabec 2017-03-23 10:55:54 UTC
Thank you Marko, 
This AVC will be dontaudited.
