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.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1430963 +++
gssproxy checks the contents of the GSS_USE_PROXY envvar in order to determine whether it should be used. rpc.gssd is causing secure_getenv() to return NULL on this variable, which breaks gssproxy.

Attached is a Vagrantfile helpfully provided by the original reporter on the gssproxy mailing list. To see the problem, break on gss_mech_interposer() and observe the return value from gp_getenv() (which wraps secure_getenv()).

Ok apparently this turns out to be a similar problem to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1174915
So reassigning to SELinuc Policy
Btw are we really expcting an AVC ?
The way I understand this issue is that SeLinux sets AT_SECURE on the process at startup, and glibc, much later simply fails secure_getenv() when it see AT_SECURE set.
Do you really expect to find AVCs ? Does glibc issue audit logs when secure_getenv() is invoked ?
# seinfo -cprocess -x | grep secure
noatsecure
#
If you want to see { noatsecure } AVCs, which are usually hidden, you need to disable dontaudit rules via:
# semodule -DB
With gssd_t, gssproxy_t, and init_t added to permissive, the attached are generated on gssproxy restart.
No messages seem to be triggered on rpc-gssd restart or on the original reproducer.
