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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2172267 +++

The initial implementation of passt support in libvirt doesn't have the necessary fu to be able to start the passt process when SELinux is enforcing.

Stefano Brivio (sbrivio) has come up with patches for libvirt, selinux-policy, and passt that make this work properly.


The selinux-policy changes are in a Fedora MR here:

https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/1613

The passt_.* interfaces are not defined in selinux-policy so the issue should rather be resolved in passt.

Indeed, the interfaces are (now) defined in the passt-selinux package. But selinux-policy needs to use them as optional policy for libvirtd, and that's what my merge request does. Please have a look at:

  https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/1613/commits/32c47c2dea3c14d0f097b6f6e774470ccdc9b147

I updated the merge request to support the updated interfaces fixing bz2176813.

I've submitted a Fedora PR to address the issue:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/1629

It consists of 4 commits.

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
