Oracle database 19c, 12c, 11c with SELinux with targeted policy in mode enforcing supported?

Ivan HerediaNov 12 2024

Hi.

I installed and configured Oracle database 19c Community Edition in RHEL 9.4.

In this server, I configured SELinux. Here the configuration

# fixfiles -F onboot
# semanage login --modify --range SystemLow --seuser user_u __default__
# semanage login --modify --range SystemLow-SystemHigh --seuser sysadm_u root
# semanage login --add --range SystemLow --seuser staff_u user
# echo "user ALL=(ALL) TYPE=sysadm_t ROLE=sysadm_r ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/user
# semanage login --add --range SystemLow --seuser user_u oracle

If I add SELinux in enforcing mode. And run the script /etc/init.d/oracledb_ORCLCDB-19c start the database is started.

But, I can't run sqlplus, in /var/log/audit/audit.log there are AVC logs.

SELinux enforcing mode

[oracle@localhost root]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

For solved it, I can create custom policies. But, the Oracle enterprise gives support with SELinux to your database 19c? And 11c, 12c versions?

Thanks.
