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.

Jan  4 16:58:05.278242 systemd-network-generator[888]: Failed to create unit file /run/systemd/network/90-ens5.network: Permission denied
```

This particular run had: `ip=10.10.10.10::10.10.10.1:255.255.255.0:myhostname:ens5:none:8.8.8.8`, but this is easily reproduced with just `nameserver=8.8.8.8`.


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


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start latest rawhide (from 20220103.n.0 compose)
2. Add `nameserver=8.8.8.8` to kernel command line arguments
3. See systemd-network-generator fail. 

Actual results:

systemd-network-generator fails because it can't write to /run/systemd/network/


Expected results:

No failure

Additional info:

This was originally discovered in Fedora CoreOS CI but was also reproduced on the Fedora Cloud Base image:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/rawhide/Fedora-Rawhide-20220103.n.0/compose/Cloud/x86_64/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-Rawhide-20220103.n.0.x86_64.qcow2

For completeness:

```
[root@fedora ~]# rpm -q systemd selinux-policy
systemd-250-3.fc36.x86_64
selinux-policy-35.8-1.fc36.noarch
```

Jan  4 16:58:05.278242 systemd-network-generator[888]: Failed to create unit file /run/systemd/network/90-ens5.network: Permission denied

Yeah, systemd-network-generator will create files under /run/systemd/network/.

--- Additional comment from Dusty Mabe on 2022-01-11 15:09:28 UTC ---

Note a real simple reproducer would be:


```
sudo su -
systemd-run /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-network-generator -- nameserver=8.8.8.8
journalctl -u $unit
ausearch -m AVC
```

Here's an example run:

```

I need this fixed in f35 too as we are starting to see this there now with the new systemd:

> Hey Team. Any updates here?

Requires a new policy which takes time.

--- Additional comment from Dusty Mabe on 2022-01-27 04:07:12 UTC ---

Hey Zdenek,

Thanks for the info. I understand it takes time. Do you mind giving a rough estimate (a week, 2 weeks, a month, multiple months)? Currently we've pinned systemd in Fedora Coreos (based on F35) on an older version. The rough estimate will help us plan accordingly.

--- Additional comment from Ben Cotton on 2022-02-08 20:42:01 UTC ---

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 36 development cycle.
Changing version to 36.

--- Additional comment from Dusty Mabe on 2022-02-09 15:24:06 UTC ---

Moving to Fedora 35 since that's where we're feeling the most pain right now because of the pinned systemd.

--- Additional comment from Ben Cotton on 2022-02-10 15:44:05 UTC ---

In yesterday's meeting, we agreed to accept this as a Prioritized Bug because it affects a common use case for a flagship offering

Rough estimate atm (no promises) is 3 weeks to get to F35. Any suggestions or help with testing can effect this in a positive manner.

Does the reproducer in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2037047#c3 help?

We can certainly test this if you come up with a potential fix and provide us a scratch build.

Thank you!

I can reproduce from comment 3 on a clean installed system using Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-36-20220308.n.0.iso (today).

type=AVC msg=audit(1646781760.098:273): avc:  denied  { add_name } for  pid=1023 comm="systemd-network" name="91-default.network" scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0

Also fails if I use `nameserver=8.8.8.8` as a kernel boot parameter.

--- Additional comment from Fedora Blocker Bugs Application on 2022-03-08 23:40:59 UTC ---

Proposed as a Blocker for 36-beta by Fedora user chrismurphy using the blocker tracking app because:

 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Basic_Release_Criteria#Cockpit_management_interface
The default system init daemon (e.g. systemd) must be capable of starting, stopping, enabling and disabling correctly-defined services. 

a. Performing this kind of network service manipulation is pretty basic functionality for any server/VM/cloud, i.e. it is a correctly defined service.
b. systemd isn't capable of enabling it due to the selinux issue

--- Additional comment from Chris Murphy on 2022-03-08 23:42:51 UTC ---

Pretty sure the blocker bug tracker needs to see the bug set to 36 to show it as blocking 36.

--- Additional comment from Chris Murphy on 2022-03-08 23:44:07 UTC ---

>b. systemd isn't capable of enabling it due to the selinux issue

Correction
b. systemd isn't capable of starting it due to the selinux issue

--- Additional comment from Chris Murphy on 2022-03-08 23:49:43 UTC ---

OK per the note in the release criterion about "Correctly-defined services" - I'll argue that systemd is inhibited by SELinux from starting the service, i.e. systemd is functionally prevented from working correctly by this issue.

--- Additional comment from Adam Williamson on 2022-03-08 23:54:54 UTC ---

No. The criterion is about Cockpit functionality. It is definitely *not* meant to be judo'ed into a criterion that makes it a blocker bug if absolutely any systemd service shipped in the distro doesn't work as intended.

--- Additional comment from Chris Murphy on 2022-03-09 00:00:50 UTC ---

Oh I copied the wrong URL it's: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Basic_Release_Criteria#System_service_manipulation
Nothing to do with cockpit.

--- Additional comment from Adam Williamson on 2022-03-09 00:53:43 UTC ---

Same deal. That means that systemd must be able to start, stop, enable and disable services. It's about systemd's operation, it is not supposed to be judo'd into this kind of situation.

--- Additional comment from Chris Murphy on 2022-03-09 01:16:43 UTC ---

Ok well the plain language doesn't explain it that way, nor does the example under it. There is nothing wrong with the service unit. Systemd is partially made defective in a narrow scope due to this SELinux problem.

But let's flip this around:
Is it OK to release Server/Cloud edition in a state in which select basic services like this can't be started?

Release blocking desktops have "applications must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test" and the cited criterion is the closest equivalent to that for Server and Cloud edition. This bug directly inhibits the four basic objectives too.  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Basic_Release_Criteria#Basic_Objectives  There is a basic release criterion that requires SELinux enabled, so we can't test if there are subsequent or underlying bugs in this same area while SELinux is enabled due to the bug. It's a catch-22.

--- Additional comment from Adam Williamson on 2022-03-09 01:23:43 UTC ---

Let's move that discussion to the ticket, I guess. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/651

--- Additional comment from Adam Williamson on 2022-03-14 16:08:34 UTC ---

-5 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/651 , marking rejected. Someone voted +1 Beta FE, so proposing as Beta FE for others to vote on.

--- Additional comment from Adam Williamson on 2022-03-14 16:09:55 UTC ---

btw, *is* this a "basic service"? Is this a common or supported way to configure networking on Server or Cloud? I don't recall hearing of it before.

--- Additional comment from Dusty Mabe on 2022-03-14 16:18:11 UTC ---

I think systemd-network-generator was enabled by default fairly recently in an update to systemd. Obviously the logical conclusion that people could come to is "We don't use systemd-networkd, so we don't need this generator", but that's not totally true because there are other things (like udev rules) that this generator creates that are needed. Example: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/21766#issuecomment-994411870

--- Additional comment from Geoffrey Marr on 2022-03-14 18:50:28 UTC ---

Discussed during the 2022-03-14 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedFreezeException (Beta)" was made as it is a noticeable issue that cannot be fixed with an update.

> hey @zpytela - can we get an updated estimate? Thanks!

Next week if I can reproduce and test it.

--- Additional comment from Zdenek Pytela on 2022-04-04 08:57:15 UTC ---

There is a PR adding the new domain:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/1126

The reproducer from #c3 does not produce any denials, so the fix is expected to be in the next build, but I'd like anybody using this feature in a different way to check the build, rpms for testing can be downloaded from the PR:

Checks -> Details -> Artifacts -> rpms

--- Additional comment from Dusty Mabe on 2022-04-04 14:06:49 UTC ---

The CI RPM from the PR (`selinux-policy-36.5-1.20220404_083611.bff1cac.fc37.noarch.rpm`) corrects this issue for me. Thanks!

--- Additional comment from Zdenek Pytela on 2022-04-04 14:12:48 UTC ---

Thanks for checking.

Sadly, rawhide composes still fail. ;( 

https://pagure.io/releng/failed-composes/issue/3311

I'm not sure if this is the same issue or not however. It looks like anaconda cannot connect to nm-client...

--- Additional comment from Dusty Mabe on 2022-04-06 02:56:23 UTC ---

Kevin,

I doubt it's the same issue. This issue has been around since the start of the year.

Zdenek,

Testing of the issue in rawhide for us seems to look good with selinux-policy-36.6-1.fc37. Can we get an update for Fedora 35/36?

Comment 1 HuijingHei 2022-07-26 12:30:24 UTC

Reproduce the issue with centos stream with selinux-policy-34.1.37-1.el9.noarch

Comment 2 HuijingHei 2022-07-27 09:21:29 UTC

Test with selinux-policy-36.10-1.fc36.noarch on rhel9.1, the issue is fixed
