Change the matchpathcon rule for ${TIMESTAMP_DIR} to match var_run_t
until the new pam_var_run_t type is assigned in the policy.

zpytela commented 4 years ago

Some change is required so that CI passes. This was meant as a quick temporary workaround.

By changing the rlSEMatchPathCon line, we can no longer claim that the TC covers BZ#1791957. Or do we need a different behavior on RHEL-8 and Fedora?

zpytela commented 4 years ago

This was meant as a quick temporary workaround to make CI pass. Surely needs to be addressed in the policy, both for Fedora and RHEL.

@zpytela Thanks, but the correct solution would be to waive failing Fedora CI test and fix it correctly. As @mmalik wrote, your patch breaks the test for RHEL8. We don't want such a temporary workarounds. Filed https://src.fedoraproject.org/tests/selinux/issue/63 and closing this.
