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:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-doc-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# 
  
Actual results:
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 and 6, domain_disable_trans Booleans are available to prevent an application from transitioning to a confined domain, and therefore, the process runs in an unconfined domain, such as initrc_t. Turning such Booleans on can cause major problems. For example, if the httpd_disable_trans Boolean is turned on:

Additional info:
To make some domain permissive in RHEL-6 we should use "semanage permissive -a ..."

Steps to Reproduce:

# rpm -qa selinux-policy\* | sort
selinux-policy-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-doc-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-38.el6.noarch
# getsebool -a | wc -l
167
# getsebool -a | grep -i disable_trans

fixed in 2.0-9 on doc-stage
