This also gets avc denials when trying to look up cert-api.access.redhat.com with the following denial message

It actually was bz#2073395, there is a build selinux-policy-3.14.3-98.el8 which addresses it.

Enabling/Starting insights-client-boot.service fails.

For my AWS systems with RHEL8.6 I needed all below rules to have a SELinux clean run of insights-client from systemd
~~~
allow insights_client_t gconf_home_t:dir search;
allow insights_client_t hostname_exec_t:file { getattr open read execute };
allow insights_client_t systemd_notify_exec_t:file { getattr open read execute };
~~~

The PR attached to this BZ includes on the gconf_home_t, can you please confirm that the proposed fix will also fix all the other 2 rules?

The permission are in the current policy version:

rhel87# rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.14.3-105.el8.noarch

rhel87# sesearch -A -s insights_client_t -t gconf_home_t -c dir -p search
allow insights_client_t file_type:dir { getattr ioctl lock open read search };
allow insights_client_t gconf_home_t:dir { getattr open search };
allow insights_client_t non_security_file_type:dir { getattr ioctl lock open read search };

rhel87# sesearch -A -s insights_client_t -t hostname_exec_t -c file -p getattr,open,read,execute
allow insights_client_t exec_type:file { execute execute_no_trans getattr ioctl lock map open read };
allow insights_client_t hostname_exec_t:file { execute execute_no_trans getattr ioctl lock map open read };
allow insights_client_t non_security_file_type:file { getattr ioctl lock open read };

rhel87#
rhel87# sesearch -A -s insights_client_t -t systemd_notify_exec_t -c file -p getattr,open,read,execute
allow insights_client_t exec_type:file { execute execute_no_trans getattr ioctl lock map open read };
allow insights_client_t non_security_file_type:file { getattr ioctl lock open read };

It is important though to test actual scenarios as implementation in the policy may not be that straightforward, e. g. include transitions.

The BZ mentions 'Fixed In Version: selinux-policy-3.14.3-99.el8'. The above results are from selinux-policy-3.14.3-105.el8.noarch.
The above results are for RHEL8.7 and i need RHEL8.6-EUS.

It is now already 3+ months since RHEL8.6 is out this major issue is still not fixed.

This is a RHEL 8.7 bz so I checked the latest package available.
I've just also checked in RHEL 8.6.z with selinux-policy-3.14.3-95.el8_6.3 the results are the same as the policy was backported completely, the same applies to 9.1 and 9.0.z.

The PR attached to this bz contains just an initial commit before it was fully reproduced with different scenarios.
The actual fix contained 36 commits and also a change in the insights-client package.
I am sorry it took quite a long time to gather all relevant information, spread into multiple bugzillas, and deliver a fix for all of them. he issue as such was more convoluted than expected.

The RHEL 8.6 bz is in the verified state since August 5th.

When will selinux-policy-3.14.3-95.el8_6.3 be available, Zdenek ? The latest I see is selinux-policy-3.14.3-95.el8_6.1, which I have installed. As of today nothing changed ... the issues are still occurring.

The next RHEL 8.6 batch update has 2022-09-13 as a release date, but an earlier (async) update was requested. I can keep you informed if you wish.

Thank you, Zdenek ! Not necessary to inform me, I check for updates on a daily basis. The earlier the new version ships, the better ... :)

Sharing just in case that selinux-policy-3.14.3-95.el8_6.4 has been released as an update for RHEL 8.6.

FYI,

I have selinux-policy-3.14.3-95.el8_6.4.noarch installed and audit log is full with insights_client_t related entries. I will attach a file instead posting it all here
