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 2021-01-27 08:08:31 UTC
Description of problem:

With current policy, it's not possible for a confined user (e.g. staff_u) to execute a script labeled with user_tmp_t using sudo:

-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
$ sudo /var/tmp/foo 
sudo: unable to execute /var/tmp/foo: Permission denied
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

The reason is "entrypoint" rule is missing e.g. "sysadm_t user_tmp_t:file { entrypoint }" doesn't exist.

All the other rules are there, in particular transitions from sudo (e.g. sysadm_sudo_t) to sysadm_t upon executing a user_tmp_t file:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
# sesearch -T -s sudodomain -t user_tmp_t 
type_transition auditadm_sudo_t user_tmp_t:process auditadm_t;
type_transition dbadm_sudo_t user_tmp_t:process dbadm_t;
type_transition secadm_sudo_t user_tmp_t:process secadm_t;
type_transition staff_sudo_t user_tmp_t:process staff_t;
type_transition sysadm_sudo_t user_tmp_t:process sysadm_t;
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------


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

selinux-policy-3.14.3-54.el8.noarch


How reproducible:

ALWAYS

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a confined user that can sudo

  -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
  # useradd -Z sysadm_u -G wheel sysadm
  # echo "pass" | passwd --stdin sysadm
  -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

2. Create a script in /var/tmp

  -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
  # cat > /var/tmp/foo << EOF
  #!/bin/sh
  echo "Hello"
  EOF

  # chmod +x /var/tmp/foo
  -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

3. Log in as the confined user and execute sudo

  -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
  # ssh sysadm@localhost
  $ id -Z
  sysadm_u:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
  $ sudo /var/tmp/foo
  [sudo] password for sysadm: 
  sudo: unable to execute /var/tmp/foo: Permission denied
  -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------


Actual results: AVC on "entrypoint"

-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

Expected results:

Script execution and no AVC

Additional info:

There are 2 workarounds:
1. sudo sh -c /var/tmp/foo
2. sudo -r sysadm_r /var/tmp/foo
