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.

The actual user story can be phrased as follows:

Allow a 3rd party application be executed from a postrotate scriplet in logrotate run as a daily cron job. This application requires the execstack permission which is not allowed for the logrotate_t domain.

This RFE bugzilla has been thoroughly assessed and finally decided to close with the resolution of WONTFIX.

It is seen as low impact to a small number of use-cases. The suggested patch has not been accepted upstream and the business justification was not strong enough to push this patch ahead. There are workarounds known which can be tested in the customer environment.

For the sake of completeness, the approach towards resolving this request would require reaching out to the 3rd party software vendor, probably leading to confining the application and allowing the execstack permission to the new domain only.
