Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Jan Jansky 2020-08-11 11:49:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
On default installation when attempt to open vnc console to any compute resource selinux will block websockify.py to open python2.7 which will prevent to open actual vnc console


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
at least since Satellite 6.5, not tested on EOL versions.

foreman-selinux-1.24.1-1.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible: 
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create compute resource
2. List hosts
3. Select host
4. Console

Actual results:
/var/log/audit:
type=AVC msg=audit(1597137980.568:2781): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=18884 comm="websockify.py" path="/usr/bin/python2.7" dev="dm-0" ino=402654774 scontext=system_u:system_r:websockify_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0


Expected results:
# ps -Af | grep websockify
foreman   6966     1  0 11:50 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/foreman/extras/noVNC/websockify.py --daemon --idle-timeout=120 --timeout=120 5914 hypervisor.example.com:port --cert /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-apache.crt --key /etc/pki/katello/private/katello-apache.key

Do not have available Sat 6.8, so did not tested there.
Comment 6 Lukas Zapletal 2020-08-18 08:57:53 UTC 
Oh this does not mean it cannot execute python, it actually means "python cannot list /usr/bin folder (execute)". This will fix this:

require {
	type websockify_t;
}

#============= websockify_t ==============
corecmd_exec_ls(websockify_t)
Comment 7 Bryan Kearney 2020-08-31 16:05:39 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/30657 has been resolved.
Comment 8 Brad Buckingham 2021-01-08 21:34:01 UTC 
The fix for this bugzilla is currently in early Satellite 6.9 SNAP; therefore, aligning to release and moving state.
Comment 9 Lukas Pramuk 2021-03-16 23:59:18 UTC 
VERIFIED.

@Satellite 6.9.0 Snap16
foreman-selinux-2.3.1-1.el7sat.noarch

by the reproducer described in comment#0

1) Select any provisioned host

2) Click [Console] button

>>> console window shown

3) Check for selinux denials

# grep websockify /var/log/audit/audit.log
<empty>

>>> no selinux denials
