Is arbitrary access to rpm_t by sysadm_r a security problem?



I would imagine sysadm_r can do a lot anyway, but just in case it is a problem, here it is:

% id
uid=500(aleksey) gid=500(aleksey) groups=500(aleksey) context=aleksey:sysadm_r:sysadm_t
% rpm -q rpm --pipe id
uid=500(aleksey) gid=500(aleksey) groups=500(aleksey) context=aleksey:sysadm_r:rpm_t


Basically, the --pipe option to rpm seems to be giving sysadm_r full access to sysadm_r:rpm_t
