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 Yongcheng Yang 2017-04-06 02:30:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
There is an "avc denied" log during tests of NFS crossmnt (details please find from manpage exports(5)) with root "/". 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.3

How reproducible:
100% easily

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo '/ *(ro,crossmnt,nohide,no_root_squash)' > /etc/exports
2. systemctl restart nfs
3. Mount the "/" to any mount point
4. Read contents of $mountpoint/boot/

Actual results:
# echo '/ *(ro,crossmnt,nohide,no_root_squash)' >/etc/exports
# systemctl restart nfs
# mount localhost:/ /mnt/mnt_test/
# cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep denied
# ls /mnt/mnt_test/boot/ &>/dev/null
# cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep denied
type=AVC msg=audit(1491444765.616:197): avc:  denied  { search } for  pid=30483 comm="rpc.mountd" name="/" dev="configfs" ino=7560 scontext=system_u:system_r:nfsd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:configfs_t:s0 tclass=dir
# 

Expected results:
No AVC failure.

Additional info:
Rhel6 doesn't have this warning.
