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 kyoneyama 2018-07-09 01:49:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

When there is "/etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs", it doesn't label the rule added by "semanage fcontext" during autorelabel on boot.

Autorelabel on boot runs "fixfiles restore".

If there is fixfiles_exclude_dirs, fixfiles performs the operations below, that creates a temporary `file_contexts` files and executes setfiles based on a temporary files.

  # cd /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/
  # mktemp file_contexts.XXXXXXXXX
  # cp -p /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts file_contexts.WniqAxMKPP
  # cp -p /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.subs_dist file_contexts.WniqAxMKPP.subs_dist
  # cp -p /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.subs file_contexts.WniqAxMKPP.subs
  # cp -p /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs file_contexts.WniqAxMKPP.homedirs
  # setfiles -v -e /boot/efi -q /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.WniqAxMKPP /


However, a temporary file of /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local isn't created, which additional rules are logged.
That's why fixfiles can't label additional rules.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5
  - policycoreutils-2.5-22.el7

How reproducible:

  - Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Add local labeling rule with "semanage fcontext"

  # mkdir /share
  # semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t /share

2. Create /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs

  # echo "/boot/efi" > /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs

3. Execute "fixfiles restore"

  # fixfiles -v restore

4. Ensure the file context of /share

  # ls -ldZ /share

Actual results:

  - It doesn't label additional labels.

Expected results:

  - It can label additional labels.
