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 alex 2017-02-28 07:08:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

After upgrading to the latest Nagios package available, 4.2.4, the web frontend no longer works with SELinux enabled. I get the following on audit.log

type=AVC msg=audit(1488265620.009:2548): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=27346 comm="tac.cgi" name="objects.cache" dev="vda3" ino=33626409 scontext=system_u:system_r:nagios_script_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nagios_spool_t:s0 tclass=file
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1488265620.009:2548): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7f2237600430 a1=0 a2=7f2237600210 a3=4 items=0 ppid=26820 pid=27346 auid=4294967295 uid=48 gid=48 euid=48 suid=48 fsuid=48 egid=48 sgid=48 fsgid=48 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="tac.cgi" exe="/usr/lib64/nagios/cgi-bin/tac.cgi" subj=system_u:system_r:nagios_script_t:s0 key=(null)

This might be due to some paths in nagios.cfg changing from /var/log/nagios to /var/spool/nagios, I think.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run nagios with SELinux enabled
2. Go to the UI

Actual results:

UI doesn't work

Expected results:

UI works
