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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0314 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE selinux-policy bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:35:01 UTC

Description Vinzenz Feenstra [evilissimo] 2012-12-09 12:21:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
selinux prevents the access of the rhevm-guest-agent-gdm-plugin to connect to the SO_PASSCRED unix domain socket ('\x00/tmp/ovirt-cred-channel').

The unix domain socket is created by the service: ovirt-guest-agent from the package: rhevm-guest-agent


Audit log entry:
type=AVC msg=audit(1355047156.839:26940): avc:  denied  { connectto } for  pid=11187 comm="gdm-session-wor" path=002F746D702F6F766972742D637265642D6368616E6E656C scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhevm-guest-agent-1.0.5-7

How reproducible:
Always reproducible with selinux-policy-3.7.19-155

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a RHEV-M Environment
2. Create a RHEL6.3 Desktop VM with rhevm-guest-agent-gdm-plugin installed
3. Join the computer to the domain
4. Single sign on from the user portal will not complete.
  
Actual results:
Single Sign on is not working because the access to the credential socket is blocked.

Expected results:
Access to the socket is not blocked.

Additional info:
Temporary workaround for affected users:

# semodule -i ovirt-guest-agent.pp
Comment 1 Vinzenz Feenstra [evilissimo] 2012-12-09 12:24:19 UTC 
Please note that the package rhevm-guest-agent was previously known as rhev-agent.
The package rhevm-guest-agent-gdm-plugin was previously known as rhev-agent-gdm-plugin-rhevcred.

Correction: The problem occurs within the SSO PAM module - rhevm-guest-agent-pam-module (Previously known as rhev-agent-pam-rhev-cred)
Comment 3 Vinzenz Feenstra [evilissimo] 2012-12-09 13:23:59 UTC 
Additional note: 

The rhevm-guest-agent-kdm-plugin package is also affected by this. The workaround mentioned in comment#0 works for it as well.
Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2012-12-10 07:26:47 UTC 
The problem is the ovirt-guest-agent service has not a policy.

What does

# ps -efZ |grep initrc

Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2012-12-10 09:31:12 UTC 
OK, we need to backport changes from Fedora.
Comment 7 Miroslav Grepl 2012-12-10 09:32:21 UTC 
You can test it for now using

# chcon -t rhev_agentd_exec_t /usr/share/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.py

Also please updat to the latest policy build.

rhnsd deamon should be confined.
