Description of problem:
With the rhel 7.4 overcloud images provided by the rhosp-director-images rpm a non-root user cannot use the ping command:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhosp-director-images-12.0-20170726.1.el7ost.noarch
Linux controller-0 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 6 19:56:57 EDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy overcloud with rhel 7.4 overcloud images 
2. SSH to one of the overcloud users as heat-admin users
3. ping an address/hostname

Actual results:
ping: socket: Operation not permitted

Expected results:
ping works

Comment 1 Mike Burns 2017-07-28 15:39:54 UTC
Please provide full audit.log from a permissive run.

If the host is permissive, does ping work?

Also, if you think this is selinux, why is it against rhosp-director and not openstack-selinux?

Comment 2 Alex Schultz 2017-07-28 15:45:48 UTC
It's not selinux related. Using setcap seems to fix it.  

$ sudo setcap 'cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+ep' /usr/bin/ping

Attaching audit.log

> If the host is permissive, does ping work?

No, ping doesn't work in permissive modes.

I'm not sure that this is selinux related since I get the same result when switching to permissive. I reported it agains rhosp-director because I'm seeing the issue on the images provided by the rhosp-director. Ping worked fine on a different rhel-7.4 machine, on the undercloud for example.

Comment 5 Mike Burns 2017-07-28 18:34:49 UTC
As noted by Alex, running setcap fixes this.  It appears to be any RHEL 7.4 based image.  I've been able to reproduce with OSP 11 and 10 images as well.

I checked our base images used to create the overcloud images and they have the right getcap values set on /bin/ping.  The generated overcloud-full images do not.

Another workaround for this is "yum reinstall iputils"

Comment 6 Lon Hohberger 2017-07-28 18:42:26 UTC
Also those AVCs are not related to ping.

Comment 8 Ben Nemec 2017-07-31 14:49:01 UTC
Wow, this is a blast from the past.  Previously the fix was to tell tar to maintain extended attributes on files: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/125428/

Maybe there's something new in 7.4 that needs to be kept?

Comment 9 Ben Nemec 2017-09-05 15:38:19 UTC
Ugh, sorry.  Didn't mean to clear all the other fields.

Comment 12 Ben Nemec 2017-11-02 22:59:13 UTC
This should already be fixed in OSP 12.  Moving to ON_QA.
