Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

We have in F14/F15

# console_init manages files in /etc/sysconfig
files_manage_etc_files(udev_t)

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2011-03-01 13:48:47 UTC
Other issues are caused by udevadm (which is now labeled as udev_exec_t) running as sysadm_t. I am thinking about adding

udev_run(sysadm_r, sysadm_t)

I am trying to test it and it looks good. 


Milos, could you also test it?

Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2011-03-01 13:50:15 UTC
I mean using a local policy which contains


domtrans_pattern(sysadm_t, udev_exe_t, udev_t)
role sysadm_r types udev_t;

Comment 5 Milos Malik 2011-03-01 14:19:30 UTC
No AVCs appear when following local policy is loaded:

policy_module(testpolicy,1.0)

require {
    type sysadm_t;
    type udev_t;
    type udev_exec_t;
}

files_manage_etc_files(udev_t)
domtrans_pattern(sysadm_t, udev_exec_t, udev_t)
role sysadm_r types udev_t;

Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2011-03-02 08:34:55 UTC
Great.

Comment 7 Miroslav Grepl 2011-03-08 16:50:08 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-76.el6
