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.

Comment 1 Zdenek Pytela 2019-04-18 09:25:32 UTC 
Hi,

Thank you for reporting the issue. Could you please make the domain permissive:

semanage permissive -a httpd_rotatelogs_t

reproduce the scenario and gather all audit logs?

Comment 3 Milos Malik 2019-04-18 09:48:19 UTC 
# matchpathcon /usr/sbin/rotatelogs 
/usr/sbin/rotatelogs	system_u:object_r:httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:s0
#

Because SELinux policy defines only following process transitions related to rotatelogs:

# sesearch -t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t -T
type_transition cluster_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition condor_startd_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition glusterd_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition httpd_sys_script_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition httpd_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition init_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition initrc_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition kdumpctl_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition openshift_initrc_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
type_transition piranha_pulse_t httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t:process httpd_rotatelogs_t;
#

I used the following reproducer instead of the automated TC:

# runcon system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 bash -c "/usr/sbin/rotatelogs -l -p /bin/gzip -f -L /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/errorX 100B"

Following SELinux denials appeared in permissive mode:
