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.

SELinux is denying tomcat from connecting to Microsoft SQL Server on port 1433, with the following AVC denial in /var/log/audit.log

type=AVC msg=audit(1503434074.102:50305): avc:  denied  { name_connect } for  pid=4488 comm="java" dest=1433 scontext=system_u:system_r:tomcat_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mssql_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket

This worked without issue in previous versions of the targeted policy.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  - selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-166.el7.noarch
  - RHEL 7.4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new RHEL 7.4 machine
2. yum install tomcat; systemctl start tomcat.service
3. Install a tomcat application that will connect to an existing MS SQL server.

Actual results:
AVC denial

Expected results:
A successful connection, like previous versions of the policy.

Hello,

This bug report indicates that this issue is resolved in version 3.13.1-174.el7 but the latest version I see available is 3.13.1-166.el7_4.4.
