Creating as a clone of https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-52476
Looks like the above was closed and an errata provided. But does not look like it was backported to RHEL 8. Need the above backported to RHEL 8 as well.
What were you trying to do that didn't work?
When freezing/thawing the file systems of a QEMU/KVM VM, the following AVCs are generated if a mount point is not owned by root:
allow virt_qemu_ga_t self:capability { dac_override dac_read_search };
type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(08/02/2024 09:14:51.317:90) : proctitle=/usr/bin/qemu-ga --method=virtio-serial --path=/dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0 --allow-rpcs=guest-sync-delimited,guest-

This AVC can be fixed by enabling virt_qemu_ga_manage_ssh, but this has to be considered as a workaround, because the boolean is unrelated.
The reason for getting this is the mount table is parsed then file systems opened.
Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
selinux-policy-38.1.35-2.el9_4.noarch
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to reproduce
- Create a disk image
# truncate -s 1G /root/renaud.img mkfs.xfs /root/renaud.img mkdir /var/lib/renaud
- Mount the disk image and change permissions
# mount /root/renaud.img /var/lib/renaud # chown renaud:users /var/lib/renaud # restorecon -Fr /var/lib/renaud
- Execute "thaw" from the hypervisor
$ virsh qemu-agent-command --domain rhel9 '{ "execute" : "guest-fsfreeze-thaw" }'
Expected results
No AVC
