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.

cups-client-2.2.6-27.el8.x86_64
cups-filesystem-2.2.6-27.el8.noarch

selinux-policy-3.14.3-19.el8.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-19.el8.noarch

How reproducible:
 * always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get a RHEL-8.1 machine (targeted policy is active)
2. create a sysadm_u user and set its password
3. log in as the sysadm_u user
4. run following commands:
$ lpstat -selt
$ lpq -a -l
$ lpoptions -l
$ lpinfo -m -v

Actual results (enforcing mode):
----
type=USER_AVC msg=audit(09/17/2019 07:18:30.680:445) : pid=658 uid=dbus auid=unset ses=unset subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='avc:  denied  { send_msg } for msgtype=method_call interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer member=Ping dest=org.freedesktop.Avahi spid=6369 tpid=6300 scontext=sysadm_u:sysadm_r:lpr_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:avahi_t:s0 tclass=dbus permissive=0  exe=/usr/bin/dbus-daemon sauid=dbus hostname=? addr=? terminal=?'

Expected results:
 * no SELinux denials

Additional information:
 * in order to see these SELinux denials, the avahi-daemon service needs to be running
