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 of problem:
 * SELinux policy defines types: utempter_t (process type) and utempter_exec_t (file type)
 * but there is an incorrect file context pattern which means that the utempter binary is not labeled utempter_exec_t which means that no process transitions into utempter_t domain

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libutempter-1.1.6-14.el8.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.14.3-9.el8.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-9.el8.noarch

How reproducible:
 * always

Steps to Reproduce:
# semanage fcontext -l | grep utempter
/usr/sbin/utempter                      regular file       system_u:object_r:utempter_exec_t:s0 
# ls -l /usr/sbin/utempter
ls: cannot access '/usr/sbin/utempter': No such file or directory
# ls -lZ /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter
-rwx--s--x. 1 root utmp system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 13096 Aug 12  2018 /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter
# rpm -qf /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter
libutempter-1.1.6-14.el8.x86_64
#

Actual results:
 * /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter is labeled incorrectly

Expected results:
 * /usr/libexec/utempter/utempter is labeled correctly
