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 Pino Toscano 2023-06-01 05:24:44 UTC
Description of problem:
We (subscription-manager team) are working to change how subscription-manager collects network facts, making use of `ip` from the iproute package. When a first draft of the change was tested with QE's help, the result was that rhsmcertd-worker (spawned by rhsmcertd) does now allow this execution -- for example:

type=AVC msg=audit(1684773208.054:13797): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=57312 comm="rhsmcertd-worke" name="ip" dev="vda1" ino=12803826 scontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ifconfig_exec_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

The `ip` usage seems to not trigger denials when run from the subscription-manager CLI, e.g. when registering using `subscription-manager register` or a simpler `subscription-manager facts` (to trigger the facts collection).

Hence, please allow rhsmcertd-worker to execute/run `ip`.

How reproducible:
All the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a version of subscription-manager that uses `ip` to collect network facts
2. Shorten the check-in time of rhsmcertd to e.g. 5 minutes & disable the splay (the randomization of the check-in time within the interval), so you can see the problem quicker than waiting for the default check-in time (which is ~4h):
  # subscription-manager config --rhsmcertd.certCheckInterval=5 --rhsmcertd.splay=0
3. Restart rhsmcertd: `systemctl restart rhsmcertd.service`
4. Register a system: `subscription-manager register`
5. Wait for 5 minutes

Actual results:
SELinux denials for the execution of "ip" as shown above.

Expected results:
No denials.

Note: run the command as
subscription-manager config --rhsmcertd.certcheckinterval=3 --rhsmcertd.splay=0

or edit /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf
