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 Matěj Cepl 2011-04-12 13:10:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
In order to make wordpress as packaged for RHEL 6 (in EPEL) I needed to do these little changes.

Special module mywordpress:
[root@luther selinux]# cat mywordpress.te

module mywordpress 1.0;

require {
	type httpd_t;
	type httpd_sys_script_exec_t;
	class lnk_file { read getattr };
}

#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t httpd_sys_script_exec_t:lnk_file { read getattr };

(/etc/wordpress/wp-config.php is a symlink to /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config.php).

Also I added these fcontext patterns:

[root@luther selinux]# semanage fcontext -l -C
SELinux fcontext                                   type               Context

/usr/share/wordpress/.*\.php$                      all files          system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 

SELinux fcontext Equivalence 

/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/upgrade(/.*)? = /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/
[root@luther selinux]# 



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wordpress-3.1-1.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-3.7.19-54.el6_0.5.noarch
Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-08-22 06:03:16 UTC 
I added changes to the latest RHEL6.2 policy.
Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2012-04-23 12:56:38 UTC 
Not good. After removing all my local fixes, I still have

[root@luther ~]# restorecon -v -R /usr/share/wordpress/
restorecon reset /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config.php context system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0->system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0
restorecon reset /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/akismet/index.php context unconfined_u:object_r:usr_t:s0->unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0
restorecon reset /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/browserid/browserid.php context system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0->system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0
restorecon reset /usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php context system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0->system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0
[root@luther ~]#
Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2012-04-23 13:04:26 UTC 
Specifically I am missing

[root@luther ~]# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t '/usr/share/wordpress/.*\.php$'
[root@luther ~]# restorecon -v -R /usr/share/wordpress/restorecon reset /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config.php context system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0->system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0
restorecon reset /usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php context system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0->system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0
[root@luther ~]#
Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2012-04-23 13:09:12 UTC 
$ rpm -q selinux-policy
Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2012-04-23 13:16:04 UTC 
wycliff:~ $ ssh luther rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.7.19-145.el6.noarch
wycliff:~ $
Comment 7 Miroslav Grepl 2012-04-24 10:49:52 UTC 
[root@localhost ~]# matchpathcon /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config.php
/usr/share/wordpress/wp-config.php	system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0

[root@localhost ~]# matchpathcon /usr/share/wordpress/wp-ine.phes/class-simplepi 
/usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/class-simplepie.ph	system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0


I am fixing the second path.
