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-2013:1680 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE sssd bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-20 21:52:37 UTC

Description Scott Poore 2013-07-23 12:20:51 UTC 
Description of problem:

This is a request for a workaround to bug #924044.  As of RHEL6.4, rpm doesn't reload it's labels db in a single transaction.  So the new context added by selinux-policy-targeted for sssd isn't used for the files in /var/lib/sss/mc when sssd (or ipa, or RHEL) is upgraded and pulls in new selinux-policy in single transaction.

We need sssd to run restorecon in %post to fix this until such time as RPM can properly handle it. 

/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd has incorrect context after upgrade from rhel6.3 to 6.4.  Just to note, this is on a 6.2 to 6.3 to 6.4 upgrade tests.

[root@rhel6-1 ipa-upgrade]# ls -lZ /var/lib/sss/mc/passwd 
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:sssd_var_lib_t:s0 /var/lib/sss/mc/passwd

[root@rhel6-1 ipa-upgrade]# matchpathcon /var/lib/sss/mc/passwd
/var/lib/sss/mc/passwd  system_u:object_r:sssd_public_t:s0

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

selinux-policy-3.7.19-195.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6.noarch
sssd-1.9.2-82.el6.x86_64
sssd-client-1.9.2-82.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install IPA server on RHEL6.2
2.  Upgrade to RHEL6.3
3.  Upgrade to RHEL6.4

Actual results:
wrong context and AVC denials

Expected results:
correct context should be set on upgrade

Additional info:

With this context incorrectly set, I am seeing AVC denials from sshd:

Comment 2 Jakub Hrozek 2013-07-25 08:49:31 UTC 
Created attachment 778127 [details]
A specfile patch

A candidate patch that calls restorecon as a workaround to set the right SELinux context on upgrades.
Comment 4 Jakub Hrozek 2013-08-19 07:33:23 UTC 
Marian Ganisin found that on clean install the patch causes a warning. Moving back to ASSIGNED.
Comment 5 Jakub Hrozek 2013-08-19 08:58:55 UTC 
Actually scratch that. We're including a separate bugzilla for the warning.
Comment 6 Jakub Hrozek 2013-10-03 17:47:03 UTC 
Hi Scott,

would you mind helping Kaushik with reproducing this bugzilla or providing easier steps for automation?

Thank you!
Comment 7 Scott Poore 2013-10-03 19:20:04 UTC 
Probably easier to automate testing here in IPA upgrade test.  This is basically what I've had to do to see/reproduce the issue:

On RHEL6.3 host:
- yum install sssd
- point to RHEL6.4 yum repos
- yum update sssd
- stat --format %C /var/lib/sss/mc/passwd
[EXPECT] sssd_public_t [NOT] sssd_var_lib_t

Here you have to have both selinux-policy and sssd updated from the same yum command to see the issue.

So, can we go with testing just in the IPA upgrades?
Comment 8 Jakub Hrozek 2013-10-04 07:13:57 UTC 
Testing this issue during IPA upgrade testing sounds fine to me.
Comment 9 Scott Poore 2013-10-17 13:26:22 UTC 
Verified.
