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 Tomáš Kašpárek 2018-06-29 07:14:59 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1596499 +++

Description of problem:
During python3 adaptation in Fedora we've split /usr/sbin/rhn_check binary into /usr/sbin/rhn_check-$SUFFIX, where $SUFFIX is Python version (e.g 2.6 for el6 or 3.6 for F28) and into /usr/sbin/rhn_check which is a symlink to to /usr/sbin/rhn_check-$SUFFIX.

E.g. what has previously been:
ls -lZ /usr/sbin/rhn_check*
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0  /usr/sbin/rhn_check

Is now:
ls -lZ /usr/sbin/rhn_check*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0    13 May 30 11:41 /usr/sbin/rhn_check -> rhn_check-3.6
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 15755 May 30 11:41 /usr/sbin/rhn_check-3.6

However the SELinux context has not yet been updated as new version has bin_t, instead rpm_exec_t which /usr/sbin/rhn_check previously had which causes some issues when rhn_check is executed by a daemon (rhnsd).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhn-client-tools-2.9.8-1.fc28.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.1-32.fc28.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install e.g. rhn-client-tools-2.7.16-1 which have just /usr/sbin/rhn_check
2. check context of /usr/sbin/rhn_check, it is: system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0
3. install latest version of rhn-client-tools which has python2/python3 split
4. /usr/sbin/rhn_check* has incorrect context as /usr/sbin/rhn_check is a symlink to actual binary.

Actual results:
Incorrect context for /usr/sbin/rhn_check*

Expected results:
/usr/sbin/rhn_check* has following context
system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0

Additional info:
Affects all versions of Fedora, RHEL as this change on our side has been done for all versions of Fedora and RHEL.
