Description Bruce Cowan 2010-05-05 21:32:54 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/file "getattr" access on
/usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail.

Detailed Description:

[file has a permissive type (boinc_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by file. It is not expected that this access is
required by file and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Bruce Cowan 2010-05-05 21:33:46 UTC
I also get the following (both of these are on logging in):

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-06 12:34:55 UTC
I guess boinc sends mail?

Comment 5 Bruce Cowan 2010-05-09 14:27:58 UTC
This still seems to occur with -13.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-10 18:20:24 UTC
Can you attach your latest avc messages.

sesearch -A -s boinc_t -t sendmail_exec_t
Found 3 semantic av rules:
   allow boinc_t file_type : filesystem getattr ; 
   allow boinc_t mta_exec_type : file { read getattr execute open } ; 
   allow boinc_t mta_exec_type : lnk_file { read getattr } ; 


I am using slightly newer policy

rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.7.19-14.fc13.noarch

Comment 7 Bruce Cowan 2010-05-11 14:28:24 UTC
Actually, it appears as if setroubleshoot is telling me about AVCs from the 9th of May for some reason.

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-13 13:34:13 UTC
So is it fixed or not?

Comment 9 Bruce Cowan 2010-05-13 14:07:51 UTC
Sorry, I'm making about as much sense as a hamster in a tumble dryer. Yes it is fixed now, sorry for the confusion.
