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 Robert Scheck 2013-06-28 13:37:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
Jun 28 09:19:05 mail amavis[17479]: (13827-03) (!)run_command: child process [17479]: run_command: failed to exec /usr/bin/7za l -slt -w/var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20130628T090439-13827-vr9AqQAx/parts -- /var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20130628T090439-13827-vr9AqQAx/parts/p002: 13 at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 4062.
Jun 28 09:19:05 mail amavis[13827]: (13827-03) (!)Decoding of p002 (Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract) failed, leaving it unpacked: do_7zip: can't get a list of archive members: exit 6;  at (eval 117) line 781.

I actually do not get if the SELinux issue happens because 7zip does have an
issue with the archive file or if SELinux is forbidding 7zip activities and
thus it is failing?! Any ideas by the SELinux guys?

-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0       /bin/gzip
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0       /usr/bin/7z
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0       /usr/bin/7za
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0       /usr/bin/unzip

To be honest, I do not get the difference to regular gzip or similar.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
amavisd-new-2.8.0-4.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6_4.10.noarch 

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above and below.

Actual results:
SELinux complains about execution of bash related to 7z and amavisd-new.

Expected results:
No SELinux complains about execution of bash related to 7z and amavisd-new.
Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2013-06-28 13:41:07 UTC 
Cross-filed case 00897763 on the Red Hat customer portal.
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2013-06-28 18:56:15 UTC 
This is blocking the executing of the shell (bash).

It should be allowed.

We have

corecmd_exec_bin(amavis_t)
corecmd_exec_shell(amavis_t

In Fedora.
Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2013-07-09 11:40:03 UTC 
Does this mean, this will get included for next policy update in RHEL?
Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2013-07-10 08:49:58 UTC 
Yes, it does.
