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 Jiří Mencák 2022-07-26 11:14:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
https://gitlab.com/rt-linux-tools/stalld is a RHEL-shipped program to prevent the starvation of operating system threads in a Linux system.  When stalld is started via "systemctl start stalld", it will run as unconfined process.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current RHEL 8.6, 8.4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install stalld
2. systemctl start stalld
3. ps -eZ|grep stalld

Actual results:
system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 4186086 ? 00:00:00 stalld

Expected results (Fedora 36 box):
system_u:system_r:stalld_t:s0     99487 ?        00:00:00 stalld

Additional info:
On Fedora 36:
[root@b200 selinux]# grep -ri stalld /etc/selinux
/etc/selinux/targeted/active/file_contexts:/var/run/stalld.pid  --      system_u:object_r:stalld_var_run_t:s0

This actually is a dup of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1891428 which has been closed WONTFIX. We can go through it again later this week.

Similar bz for RHEL 9 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2042614 is VERIFIED.
One open problem remains in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2105038
Comment 2 Chen 2022-07-27 01:25:21 UTC 
Hi Zdenek,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

One of the OpenShift Compliance Operator rules is "Ensure No Daemons are Unconfined by SELinux" which checks whether there is any service running as unconfined_service_t type. Due to this bug the compliance check can not be passed. OpenShift 4.10 (which is currently the newest version of OCP) is based on RHEL 8.6 so if we decided to fix the issue perhaps we need also backport this to RHEL 8.6.

Thanks again!

Best Regards,
Chen
Comment 3 Zdenek Pytela 2022-07-29 13:04:02 UTC 
After the discussion in SELinux team we decided to close this bz as putting a new policy to RHEL in the middle of development cycle
can have undesirable effects, additionally in backporting via z-stream there is a high regression risk.

In RHEL 9.1 the stalld service will be confined, actually it should already be available in CentOS stream.
