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:

Steps to Reproduce:
# run_init service bcfg2-server status

Initial policy developed on Fedora

Please untar and run shell script, then test the policy and attach avc's.  I have no idea how to set this up.

Comment 3 Milos Malik 2012-03-29 08:42:03 UTC 
It seems that bcfg2-server or some library that is used by bcfg2-server starts gam_server.

# ps -efZ | grep -e gam -e bcfg2
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 root 21878 21173  0 09:38 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -e gam -e bcfg2
# run_init service bcfg2-server start
Authenticating root.

# 

That's why gam_server is mentioned in AVCs in previous comment.
Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2012-03-29 08:51:32 UTC 
Could you look if there is an option to not use gam_server for bcfg2-server?
Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2012-03-29 09:03:48 UTC 
I adde some fixes which don't relate with gam_server. We need to look at it.
Comment 6 Milos Malik 2012-03-29 09:24:37 UTC 
I didn't found any bcfg2-server option that would disable the use of gam_server.

After issuing "mv /usr/libexec/gam_server /usr/libexec/gam_server.do_not_use" command bcfg2-server refuses to start.
Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2012-03-29 11:10:47 UTC 
Can you open a bug with bcfg2-server to use inotify and not gam_server.  It will be very difficult to write policy to confine an app that uses gam_server, since any app can start it, and gam_server watched files everywhere.
Comment 8 Milos Malik 2012-03-29 14:12:32 UTC 
Don't know who triggered it but here is another AVC:

Comment 9 Milos Malik 2012-03-29 14:27:40 UTC 
Previous AVC appears each hour, which means that it's triggered by bcfg2 cron job, which is in my setup executed each hour.

If bcfg2-server is running you can use following command as reproducer:
nc <hostname> 6789
Comment 10 Miroslav Grepl 2012-04-02 16:46:16 UTC 
I believe we will need to move it to RHEL6.4 and leave it as initrc_t for now. Milos did you open a bug?

Comment 13 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:20:16 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 14 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:55:27 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 15 Miroslav Grepl 2012-09-04 11:50:38 UTC 
Added to selinux-policy-3.7.19-160.el6. Also as unconfined policy.
