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.

Doc Text:
Cause: In the file context database only entries for a few directories in /opt exist. Consequence: Some 3rd party software needs additional adjustments to selinux-policy file context database. Fix: Patterns for /etc and /var subtrees inside the /opt tree were added to make it consistent with the / tree. Result: 3rd party software installed to /opt works without

Comment 5 Zdenek Pytela 2022-05-11 17:28:29 UTC
The patterns were added to the policy as requested and will be a part of the next centos stream build.

However, note that FHS 3.0 [1] mentions:

Programs to be invoked by users must be located in the directory /opt/<package>/bin or under the /opt/<provider> hierarchy.

In SELinux, file context equivalency can be used to achieve even more flexible settings, e. g.

  # semanage fcontext -a -e / "/opt/<provider><package>"

provided the package tree follows usual directory structure, in which case no additional rules for e. g. /opt/(.*/)?etc(/.*)? are needed.
