      Previously, a Security Profiles Operator (SPO) SELinux policy did not inherit low-level policy definitions from the container template if you selected another template, such as `net_container`. The policy would not work because it required low-level policy definitions that only existed in the container template. This issue occured when the SPO SELinux policy attempted to translate SELinux policies from the SPO custom format to the Common Intermediate Language (CIL) format. With this update, the container template appends to any SELinux policies that require translation from SPO to CIL. Additionally, the SPO SELinux policy can inherit low-level policy definitions from any supported policy template. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-12879[*OCPBUGS-12879*])

      Description of problem:

      When a selinuxprofile was created based on another base profile than "container", the policy would not be installed

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

      0.5

      How reproducible:

      always

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Create a selinuxpolicy from the following manifest:
apiVersion: security-profiles-operator.x-k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: SelinuxProfile
metadata:
  name: errorlogger
spec:
  inherit:
    - name: net_container
  allow:
   var_run_t:
     sock_file
     - write 
2.
3.

      Actual results:

      the policy failed to create

      Expected results:

      the policy should be created

      Additional info:

      the key in this bug is the inherit, in older SPO releases, only container worked
