System is not complying to CIS Server Level 2 due to having custom services run in "unconfined_service_t" context

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • CIS Server Level 2 benchmark "Ensure No Daemons are Unconfined by SELinux" rule fails due having some custom services run in unconfined_service_t SELinux context

    To check for unconfined daemons, run the following command:

    $ sudo ps -eZ | grep "unconfined_service_t"

    It should produce no output in a well-configured system (unless known bugs are hit).

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL8) and later
    • CIS Server Level 2 benchmark
