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 Renaud Métrich 2020-04-23 12:43:12 UTC
Description of problem:

A customer created his own context "foo_t" and corresponding "foo_exec_t" that is used to run custom processes executed by a confined user mapped to "user_u".
He has a custom policy for this (see below the example).

Since kernel >= 3.10.0-1127 (RHEL 7.8), execution of a script labeled "foo_exec_t" segfaults.
This worked fine with kernel <= 3.10.0-1062.12.1 (RHEL 7.7).

foo.te:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
policy_module(foo,1.0.0)

require {
	role user_r;
	type user_t;
}

type foo_t;
domain_type(foo_t)

type foo_exec_t;
corecmd_executable_file(foo_exec_t)

domain_entry_file(foo_t, foo_exec_t)

role user_r types foo_t;
domtrans_pattern(user_t, foo_exec_t, foo_t)

userdom_search_user_home_dirs(foo_t)
userdom_use_user_ptys(foo_t)
kernel_dontaudit_read_system_state(foo_t)
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

With the segfault comes the following AVC ("allow foo_t shell_exec_t:file execute"):
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

The AVC pops up when the kernel tries to execute the bash interpreter (shell_exec_t)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-3.10.0-1127

How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a confined user

  # useradd -Z user_u user
  # echo "user" | passwd --stdin user

2. Create the custom policy module

  # make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile foo.pp
  # semodule -i foo.pp

3. Create the dummy script in /usr/local/bin

  # cat > /usr/local/bin/foo << EOF
  #!/bin/bash
  echo "Hello world"
  EOF

  # chmod +x /usr/local/bin/foo
  # chcon -t foo_exec_t /usr/local/bin/foo

4. Switch to "user" user and execute the script

  $  id -Z
  user_u:user_r:user_t:s0

  $ /usr/local/bin/foo

Actual results:

"
Segmentation fault
"

Expected results:

"
Hello world
"
