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.
Cause:
Selinux policy is missing a rule to set the context of an IPSec association on creation
Consequence:
IPSec when configured with "labeled-ipsec=yes" is not working properly.
Fix:
A rule to set the context of an IPSec association
was added to the policy.
Result:
Labeled IPSec works.

Description of problem: The following missing policy prevents using Labeled IPsec in RHEL8 in SELinux enforcing mode: #============= ipsec_t ============== allow ipsec_t ipsec_spd_t:association setcontext; Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.14.3-48.el8.noarch selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-48.el8.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure labeled IPsec in /etc/ipsec.conf: config setup secctx-attr-type=32001 2. Configure labeled IPsec in the connection configuration: conn labeltest left=host1.example.com leftcert="host1cert" right=host2.example.com leftid=%fromcert rightid=%fromcert ikev2=no authby=rsasig labeled-ipsec=yes policy-label=system_u:object_r:ipsec_spd_t:s0 ike=aes256-sha256;modp2048 esp=aes128-sha256;modp2048 auto=add 3. Start the "ipsec" service: # systemctl start ipsec 4. Bring the connection up: # ipsec auto --up labeltest Actual results: type=AVC msg=audit(1600445069.909:547): avc: denied { setcontext } for pid=18887 comm="pluto" scontext=system_u:system_r:ipsec_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ipsec_spd_t:s0 tclass=association permissive=0 Expected results: Working Labeled IPsec Additional info:
