Doc Text:	Cause: In the selinux active store (/var/lib/selinux), there are a few files which can change on an update made to the SELinux policy, but they were not marked to skip some of the rpm verification subtests. Consequence: The "rpm -V selinux-policy-targeted" (similar for the minimum, mls, sandbox subpackages) command can report some subtetst failures although the changes are expected. Fix: The specfile option %verify(not md5 size mtime) was added for each of the reported files. Result: rpm-verify does not report a failuer for those files any longer.	Story Points:	---

Description Rajesh Dulhani 2020-06-02 09:22:33 UTC

Description of problem:

The output of rpm verify for selinux-policy-targeted has the files 

/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/commit_num, 

/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.kern 

/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/seusers always changes compared to the rpm:


-----------
$ sudo rpm -V selinux-policy-targeted
S.5....T.  c /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local
S.5....T.  c /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.subs
..5....T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/commit_num
.......T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/file_contexts
.......T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/homedir_template
S.5....T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.kern
S.5....T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/seusers
.......T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/users_extra
-----------

Can the rpm spec be fixed to pass the rpm verify validation?

Vito,

The selinux-policy-base packages do not pass rpm-verify command after any single change to policy:

rhel84# rpm -V selinux-policy-targeted
..5....T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/commit_num
S.5....T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/file_contexts
.......T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/homedir_template
S.5....T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/policy.kern
.......T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/seusers
.......T.    /var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/users_extra

Is there anything we can do to improve users experience?
