Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP APM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
11.5.6, 11.5.7, 11.5.8, 11.5.9, 11.5.10

Symptoms

When moving from a partition running v13.0.0 or later software to a partition containing pre-v13.0.0 software, the files under /var/urldb will have incorrect SELinux labeling. The BIG-IP system reports SELinux errors in /var/log/auditd/audit.log similar to the following: -- emerg logger: Re-starting bigd type=AVC msg=audit(1523996911.786:104): avc: denied { associate } for pid=32553 comm="python" name="incoming" scontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:fs_t:s0 tclass=filesystem

Impact

The URLDB functionality does not work.

Conditions

-- System is running pre-v13.0.0 software. -- Has URLDB functionality. -- Upgrade performed to v13.0.0 or later. -- Switch back to the partition that contains the pre-v13.0.0 software.
