Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 Zdenek Pytela 2018-11-26 14:09:06 UTC 
Description of problem:
After update from RHEL 7.5 to 7.6, nagios and nrpe plugins using sudo stopped working. The nagios_run_sudo boolean is on.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-229.el7_6.5.noarch
sudo-1.8.23-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure nagios/nrpe with a plugin requiring sudo, like check_rsyslog
2. 
3.

Actual results:
plugin does not work, reporting AVC denials

Expected results:
plugin works and reports no AVC denials

Additional info:
Nagios and nrpe are from EPEL.
However, the current state seems to be a result of sudo rebase in RHEL 7.6:

sudo skips PAM account module in case NOPASSWD is used in sudoers

Comment 33 Milos Malik 2019-05-07 12:12:48 UTC 
Following rules are missing:

allow nrpe_t systemd_logind_t : process { getattr };
allow nrpe_t sssd_t : process { signull };
allow nrpe_t system_dbusd_t : dbus { send_msg };
allow nrpe_t system_dbusd_t : unix_stream_socket { connectto };
allow nrpe_t unconfined_service_t : dbus { send_msg };
allow unconfined_service_t nrpe_t : dbus { send_msg };
allow systemd_hostnamed_t sosreport_t : dbus { send_msg };

SELinux denials stored in customer cases imply that these rules should be present in policy (either in allow form or dontaudit form).
