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 of problem:

Many AVC denials pop up during (sanity) run of pcp's upstream test suite on RHEL-7.4 box, mostly referencing net_admin and getattr on many different files. See attachments for full list of observed denials (dumped by ausearch command bellow).


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

pcp-3.11.8-3.el7
selinux-policy-3.13.1-136.el7.noarch


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

From our "how to test selinux" howto:

# service auditd restart
# setenforce 1
# restorecon -Rv /etc /run /var
# START_DATE_TIME=`date "+%m/%d/%Y %T"`
# ./check -s -g sanity
# ausearch -m AVC -m USER_AVC -m SELINUX_ERR -i -ts ${START_DATE_TIME}

I also used `setenforce 0` and re-ran the test suite.


Actual results:

Created attachment 1272671 [details]
denials found in enforcing mode

Verified with build pcp-3.11.8-7.el7 - the AVC denials reported in this bug don't appear anymore, as far as I can tell (there are other types, reported in other bugs, making the whole search a bit messy...).
