Description George C. Wilson 2006-12-05 18:25:46 EST

Description of problem:

During the last Monday LSPP call, it was decided that the certified
configuration should have a boolean to control admin role separation. This bug
exists to track that requirement. A bug fix to the existing MLS policy is required.

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

selinux-policy-mls-2.4.3-8.el5

How reproducible:

Create users assosiated with SELinux users that are in turn associated with
SELinux roles.  The separation between the roles is fixed without modifying the
rebuilding the policy.

Actual results:

sysadm_r and secadm_r are separated with no control over the separation without
modifying policy.

Expected results:

sysadm_r should be all powerful when a yet-to-be-added SELinux boolean is set to
true. The lone exception might be that auditadm_r should be the only audit.log
writer.

Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-6

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2006-12-08 11:58:11 EST

BTW, the boolean is not in place to allow you to run either way.  With the
current SELinux toolchain, you are not allowed to have a typeattribute within a
boolean/tunable.  This is supposed to change sometime next year.  So for now I
have this commented out.

QE ack for RHEL5.
