Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

How reproducible:

Not sure.

There is no rule, which would allow this:

[root@vm-199 ~]# sesearch -A -s rhsmcertd_t -t snmpd_t -p signull

[root@vm-199 ~]# 

Actual results:

AVC denied messages in audit log.

Expected results:

No AVC denied messages.

Additional info:

Customer's sosreport is attached to the case.

Comment 3 Jan Jansky 2017-09-20 08:14:09 UTC
Created attachment 1328304 [details]
Temporary workaround works in case 01925369

Created temporary workaround with audit2allow -M rhsmcertd.t -i sosreport/var/log/audit.log

It works for customer from case 01925369, however i am not specialist in SELinux, can someone check if this policy is correct and why the audit happened?

Comment 7 yuk 2018-03-21 11:14:03 UTC
==> Status: ON_QA → VERIFIED

Are the correct rpms available on RH repos?

Comment 8 Milos Malik 2018-03-21 11:45:33 UTC
RPMs with the fix will be available in RH repositories as soon as RHEL-7.5 goes public.
