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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #796710 +++
This happens during our automated test suite run initiated via cron.
Command is 'mailx -H -u root'
Output of 'ausearch -m avc -ts recent' attached.
Hi Richard,
what is the purpose of that command? Are you redirecting the output to a file? Probably not, right?
If I understand it properly, just the execution of mentioned command via cron is producing AVC, is that correct?

The output is redirected to tail -n1 > mail.out

Yes, that's correct. In case of screen, avc is produced. In case of cron, it's most probably caught by a noaudit rule.
The bug should be fixed now, but we aren't able to reproduce the bug even with older selinux-policy. Richard, could you please install newer selinux-policy and confirm the bug is really fixed. (the newest version is 3.7.19-143 and can be downloaded from here: http://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/RHEL6/noarch/ )
