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 lejeczek 2023-07-31 15:55:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

Hi.

Say one has this:

launch=gmysql
gmysql-host=localhost
gmysql-dbname=powerdns
gmysql-user=powerdns_user
gmysql-password=twooczek9897#dns
gmysql-dnssec=yes

Such 'pdns' will start & run a ok, but if I add this:

master=yes

than:
...
Primary/secondary communicator launching
Creating backend connection for TCP
Exiting because communicator thread died with error: Resolver binding to local UDP socket on '0.0.0.0': Permission denied
About to create 3 backend threads for UDP


'pdns' start is slightly delayed, eventually starts but that denial floods journal log
nis_enabled=1 seems to help, seems to silence "..Permisson denied" - but I wonder if there is or could be a better "fix" for this issue.

many thanks, L.

Comment 2 Nikola Knazekova 2023-08-09 11:28:30 UTC 
Hi, 
please reproduce the issue in permissive mode with full auditing enabled and attach SELinux denials:

Permissive mode:
# setenforce 0

Full audit:
1) Open the /etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules file in an editor.
2) Remove the following line if it exists:
-a task,never
3) Add the following line to the end of the file:
-w /etc/shadow -p w
4) Restart the audit daemon:
  # service auditd restart
5) Re-run your scenario.
6) Collect AVC denials:
  # ausearch -i -m avc,user_avc,selinux_err,user_selinux_err -ts today
Comment 3 Milos Malik 2023-08-10 08:35:35 UTC 
A lot of SELinux denials appear in enforcing mode:

----

Each of them has a different source port (src=...)

# ausearch -m avc -m user_avc -i | audit2allow

#!!!! This avc can be allowed using the boolean 'nis_enabled'
allow pdns_t unreserved_port_t:udp_socket name_bind;

After enabling the nis_enabled boolean, the pdns service starts and runs successfully.

The following error message does not appear anymore:

pdns_server[...]: Exiting because communicator thread died with error: Resolver binding to local UDP socket on '0.0.0.0': Permission denied
