Created attachment 1240601 [details] policy .te file with permissions required for successful tap device creation Description of problem: When establishing a tap netdev, SELinux policy blocks systemd-networkd from accessing the tun device Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 25 systemd 231 How reproducible: Switch system from NetworkManager to systemd-networkd, and configure a netdev definition for a tap device. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Disable NetworkManager 2. Enabled systemd-networkd 3. load tun module / configure for persistent load 4. Create tap netdev 5. start systemd-networkd / reboot Actual results: tap device fails to be created due to SELinux policy denials Expected results: A tap device is created through systemd-networkd Additional info: Iterations of audit2allow results in the attached .te file. audit2allow didn't recognize any booleans, and I wasn't able to track any down either. This perhaps could made a boolean if systemd-netword shouldn't be able to create tap/tun devices by default
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
