Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/platform-python3.6 from search access on the directory .local.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-95.el8.noarch
selinux-policy-3.14.3-95.el8.noarch
insights-client-3.1.7-5.el8.noarch
platform-python-3.6.8-45.el8.x86_64
How reproducible:
Occurs regularly as a part of insights-client running as a periodic process
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run RHEL 8.6 with SELinux in Enforcing or Permissive mode, using SELINUXTYPE=targeted
2. Register system with insights
3. Observe periodic AVC denials
Actual results:
Unknown
Expected results:
Normal function
Additional info:
Stat output for the only two directories on this system I believe this alert may be related to:
[root@ginnungagap ~]# stat /root/.local /home/*/.local | egrep -e '(File|Context):\s'
File: /root/.local
Context: unconfined_u:object_r:gconf_home_t:s0
File: /home/bransfp/.local
Context: unconfined_u:object_r:gconf_home_t:s0
SETroubleshoot Details follows:
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/platform-python3.6 from search access on the directory .local.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************
If you believe that platform-python3.6 should be allowed search access on the .local directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'insights-client' --raw | audit2allow -M my-insightsclient
# semodule -X 300 -i my-insightsclient.pp
