Description of problem:

yum update or erasing a package with an rpm post(un)install script that calls ldconfig will results in ld.so.cache with incorrect label

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

selinux-policy-3.7.19-28.fc13.noarch
glibc-2.12-2.x86_64
rpm-4.8.0-14.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:

every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update|erase packge-with-ldconfig-in-post(un)install-script
2. ls -lZ /etc/ld.so.cache
  
Actual results:

ld.so.cache has default label

Expected results:

ld.so.cache has proper label

Additional info:

here's an example:

$ ls -lZ /etc/ld.so.cache
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:ld_so_cache_t:s0 /etc/ld.so.cache
$ sudo yum install wireshark
...install...
$ ls -lZ /etc/ld.so.cache
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0   /etc/ld.so.cache
$ rpm -q wireshark --scripts
postinstall program: /sbin/ldconfig
postuninstall program: /sbin/ldconfig

$ sudo restorecon -v /etc/ld.so/cache
restorecon reset /etc/ld.so.cache context unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:ld_so_cache_t:s0

Which generated this SELinux alert a bit later...

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/iceauth "read" access to /etc/ld.so.cache.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by iceauth. /etc/ld.so.cache may be a
mislabeled. /etc/ld.so.cache default SELinux type is ld_so_cache_t, but its
current type is etc_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your
problem.

File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways.

  * Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent
    directory by default.
  * The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from the
    parent directory by specifying a process running in context A which creates
    a file in a directory labeled B will instead create the file with label C.
    An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the dhclient_t type
    and creating a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally receive
    the etc_t type due to parental inheritance but instead the file is labeled
    with the net_conf_t type because the SELinux policy specifies this.
  * Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as chcon, or
    restorecon.

This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally
confined application was run under the wrong domain.

However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file should not
have been labeled with this type.

If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report against this package.

Allowing Access:

You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the
restorecon command. restorecon '/etc/ld.so.cache', if this file is a directory,
you can recursively restore using restorecon -R '/etc/ld.so.cache'.

Fix Command:

/sbin/restorecon '/etc/ld.so.cache'
