Package: selinux-policy-default
Version: 2:2.20140206-1
Severity: normal

mailman's qrunner and friends aren't being properly labelled and so aren't
transitioning properly on startup:

system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0    3523 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=ArchRunner:0:1 -s
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0    3524 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=BounceRunner:0:1 -s
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0    3525 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=CommandRunner:0:1 -s
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0    3526 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=IncomingRunner:0:1 -s
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0    3527 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=NewsRunner:0:1 -s
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0    3528 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=OutgoingRunner:0:1 -s
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0    3529 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=VirginRunner:0:1 -s
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0    3530 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/python /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=RetryRunner:0:1 -s

These are actually started via /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl.  FC rules say to label that as mailman_mail_exec_t and qrunner as mailman_queue_exec_t, but neither is labelled that way with
the mailman module 1.10.0 installed:

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root list system_u:object_r:bin_t:SystemLow 21412 Feb  3 05:30 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root list system_u:object_r:bin_t:SystemLow  9612 Feb  3 05:30 /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner

The reason may be that they're losing a specificity contest with a conflicting FC rule; if the .* is removed from the path in the .fc for those files, it gets labelled correctly:

/usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/qrunner  --      gen_context(system_u:object_r:mailman_queue_exec_t,s0)
