Description Dusty Mabe 2015-06-02 19:09:37 UTC 
Description of problem:

Feel free to re-assign this bug to the appropriate component as I don't know what that is right now.

Basically if I try to install packages using cloud-init in the Fedora 22 cloud image then I get denials and my install scriptlets don't work:

type=AVC msg=audit(1433271374.623:169): avc:  denied  { transition } for  pid=872 comm="dnf" path="/usr/sbin/ldconfig" dev="vda1" ino=4512 scontext=system_u:system_r:cloud_init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:rpm_script_t:s0 tclass=process permissive=0
type=AVC msg=audit(1433271375.095:170): avc:  denied  { transition } for  pid=873 comm="dnf" path="/usr/bin/bash" dev="vda1" ino=4844 scontext=system_u:system_r:cloud_init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:rpm_script_t:s0 tclass=process permissive=0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-Cloud-Base-22-20150521.x86_64.qcow2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start cloud image with the following user-data and observe errors in audit.log and journalctl output during boot:

#cloud-config:
packages:
 - tmux
 - firewalld
 - vim
 - nginx
 - wget
runcmd:
 - [systemctl, enable, nginx.service]
 - [systemctl, enable, firewalld.service]
 - [wget, "http://roshi.fedorapeople.org", -O, /tmp/index.html]
 - [firewall-cmd, --add--service, http]
 - [cp, /tmp/index.html, /usr/share/nginx/html/]
Comment 1 Dusty Mabe 2015-06-02 21:22:32 UTC 
Workaround that enables further testing (disables selinux on boot):


#cloud-config:
bootcmd:
 - setenforce 0
packages:
 - tmux
 - firewalld
 - vim
 - nginx
 - wget
runcmd:
 - [systemctl, enable, nginx.service]
 - [systemctl, enable, firewalld.service]
 - [wget, "http://roshi.fedorapeople.org", -O, /tmp/index.html]
 - [firewall-cmd, --add-service, http]
 - [cp, /tmp/index.html, /usr/share/nginx/html/]
Comment 2 Mike Ruckman 2015-06-02 23:28:14 UTC 
Added workarounds to the CommonBugs page.
Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2015-06-08 13:35:53 UTC 
Adding the CommonBugs URL.
Comment 4 dac.override 2015-06-10 08:46:05 UTC 
RPM insists on running scriplets with system_r:rpm_script_t role and tyoe. The policy has to facilitate that.

I never understood why the scriptlets have to fail in enforcing mode if they are not run with system_r:rpm_script_t.

Nor do i understand why this is hard-coded into RPM.

Can we get the policy to facilitate this transition? Is anyone looking to make this happen?
