| Summary | 0000086: SELinux is preventing rhsmcertd-worke from create access on the directory repos | ||||
| Description | Looks like I found a bug in rhsm. First, I hope it's okay to open an issue here first, to document, as tracking down the issue might take a longer time. I saw on one of my systems weird SELinux messages, and then further searched on others as well, so I'm sure it comes down to the following environmental setup: - Rocky Linux 8.5 with the latest packages installed to date - Hosted on VMware ESXi 7.0U3c - Servers are configured against a Katello 4.3 instance, which serves the repos - Servers have different repos connected, but it looks to only be happening with the AppStream repo - Servers with the error and also servers without the error have totally different module streams enabled and I don't see it appearing to be in connection with that - Server also have pretty much different packages installed And finally here is the information from sealert: # sealert -l a1a79840-7651-4d36-ad6c-941801221c8b SELinux is preventing rhsmcertd-worke from create access on the directory repos. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that rhsmcertd-worke should be allowed create access on the repos directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 'rhsmcertd-worke' --raw | audit2allow -M my-rhsmcertdworke # semodule -X 300 -i my-rhsmcertdworke.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 Target Objects repos [ dir ] Source rhsmcertd-worke Source Path rhsmcertd-worke Port <Unknown> Host r8-ntopng-prod.fritz.box Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-80.el8_5.2.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-80.el8_5.2.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name r8-ntopng-prod.fritz.box Platform Linux r8-ntopng-prod.fritz.box 4.18.0-348.el8.0.2.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 14 00:51:12 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2022-03-25 23:14:57 CET Last Seen 2022-03-25 23:14:57 CET Local ID a1a79840-7651-4d36-ad6c-941801221c8b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1648246497.243:698): avc: denied { create } for pid=182053 comm="rhsmcertd-worke" name="repos" scontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Hash: rhsmcertd-worke,rhsmcertd_t,rpm_var_lib_t,dir,create After seeing that output, I further searched in the rhsm.log file, which clearly shows from where the error is coming: # cat /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log | grep ERROR 2022-03-20 04:07:28,326 [ERROR] rhsmcertd-worker:1938239:MainThread @profile.py:145 - Unable to create sack object: Cannot create persistdir "/var/lib/dnf/repos/appstream-62ae9a0bbea44fbe": Permission denied 2022-03-20 08:07:28,402 [ERROR] rhsmcertd-worker:2097608:MainThread @profile.py:145 - Unable to create sack object: Cannot create persistdir "/var/lib/dnf/repos/appstream-62ae9a0bbea44fbe": Permission denied I was already searching for this error in RedHat's Bugzilla, but only found similar once which don't appear to be the same issue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc=SELinux%20is%20preventing%20rhsmcertd-worke&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr That's everything I found out up to now, if I can add more input, will off course do that Unfortunately I can't test it with RHEL 8 right now as I don't have any commercial licenses I could add to Katello. Maybe somebody else could help on that part. Thank you in advance! | ||||
