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:
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sshd from read access on the file /var/lib/sss/mc/passwd

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.7.19-169.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup sssd to perform a auth.
2. Try to auth as a user. Auth succeeds, but AVC appears.
  
Actual results:
On performing a auth, audit.log shows:

type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1350289695.662:350): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7ffa6e552b10 a1=80000 a2=0 a3=17 items=0 ppid=5510 pid=20718 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="sshd" exe="/usr/sbin/sshd" subj=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)
type=AVC msg=audit(1350289695.662:350): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=20718 comm="sshd" name="passwd" dev=dm-0 ino=1713209 scontext=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:sssd_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=file

Expected results:
AVC should not appear on performing a auth.

Additional info:
The following steps solves the issue:
# semanage fcontext -a -t sssd_public_t "/var/lib/sss/mc(/.*)?"
# restorecon -R -v /var/lib/sss/mc/

We need to backport fixes from Fedora.
