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:

openswan has facility to enable coredumps by adding config variable dumpdir= in config setup section. Selinux prevents this but doesn't give AVC denial about the issue.

How reproducible:

Always

avc generated with semodule -DB

type=AVC msg=audit(1300825551.591:24204): avc:  denied  { rlimitinh } for  pid=31204 comm="sh" scontext=user_u:system_r:ipsec_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:system_r:ipsec_mgmt_t:s0 tclass=process

This need to be allowed so that openswan startup can enable coredumps.

We should allow this.

# startup scripts of pluto need to be able to set ulimit -c unlimited
allow ipsec_t ipsec_mgmt_t:process rlimitinh;

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-80.el6
