Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Description Milos Malik 2018-02-23 09:36:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
 * when an unconfined user runs traceroute, the program runs as unconfined_t, because SELinux policy does not define any transition from unconfined_t to traceroute_t
 * but if traceroute is executed by systemd or from an init script then transition to traceroute_t happens and the problem with DCCP becomes visible

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.13.1-191.el7.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-191.el7.noarch
traceroute-2.0.22-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
* always

Steps to Reproduce:
0) get a RHEL-7.4 machine (targeted policy is active)
# traceroute -D 127.0.0.1
traceroute to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
socket: Socket type not supported
# runcon system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 bash -c 'traceroute -D 127.0.0.1'
traceroute to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
socket: Permission denied
#
