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 Micah Abbott 2018-01-19 23:11:59 UTC 
Using RHELAH 7.4.4, I'm seeing a denials like so:

# journalctl -b | grep 'avc:  denied'

I can't seem to determine any ill effects from this denial, but reporting it here anyway.

Comment 2 Milos Malik 2018-01-22 07:14:21 UTC 
I believe that some files in /boot directory are mislabeled. Can run following command on the machine, where you see the SELinux denials, and paste here the output?

# ls -Z /boot

Thanks

Comment 6 Micah Abbott 2018-03-03 02:27:41 UTC 
Is this BZ related:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1536991

They look awfully similar and may have been fixed by a change to ostree.
