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:
With firefox when starting the browser for the first time the configuration directory is created with correct SELinux labels:

$ rm -rf ~/.mozilla
$ firefox
$ restorecon -Rv ~/.mozilla
$

But with chromium the files get relabeled:

$ rm -rf ~/.cache/chromium ~/.config/chromium
$ chromium-browser
[7517:7517:0419/080842.293745:ERROR:chrome_browser_cloud_management_controller.cc(162)] Cloud management controller initialization aborted as CBCM is not enabled.
MESA-INTEL: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0
[7555:7555:0419/080842.322254:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(525)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is egl, ANGLE is 
$ restorecon -Rv ~/.cache/chromium ~/.config/chromium | wc -l
283

It looks like chromium and selinux-policy are not fully in sync on which labels should be used. Thanks.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
chromium-112.0.5615.121-2.el9.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-34.1.43-1.el9_1.2.noarch

I've submitted a PR to address the issue in Fedora:

It will be a part of the next F38 and rawhide builds.

The same issue is reproducible on RHEL-8.9 and was filed as BZ#2221573.
