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:

When running MLS policy, SELinux generates AVC for lldpad as per previous bug: 723958.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-154.el6

How reproducible:

Create minimal install of EL 6.3, and apply MLS policy as per slightly modified process from: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/FedoraMLSHowto

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update
2. reboot
3. yum install selinux-policy-mls
4. change /etc/sysconfig/selinux values to SELINUX=permissive and SELINUXTYPE=mls
5. touch /.autorelabel
6. reboot
7. give grub kernel argument '1' to boot into single user mode
8. change /etc/sysconfig/selinux value for SELINUX back to 'enforcing'
9. reboot

Actual results:

audit2allow generates the following policy for lldpad from the audit log:

allow initrc_t self:netlink_route_socket nlmsg_write;
allow initrc_t self:packet_socket { bind create ioctl setopt };
allow initrc_t self:shm { write unix_read unix_write associate read create };

initrc_t should not exist in MLS. You can allow it by these rules for now. We need to turn on lldpad policy in MLS.

I back ported policy and made it as unconfined.

Ok, it has been added only for targeted policy. Is lldpad needed on MLS system?

lldpad works in targeted policy, but does not have a special SELinux domain in MLS policy now. There will be another bug filed for this purpose.
