Description John Griffiths 2013-09-04 13:05:47 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from 'search' accesses on the directory /etc/openvpn.

Do not know if this should be allowed or not.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that httpd should be allowed search access on the openvpn directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep /usr/sbin/httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2013-09-04 13:08:36 UTC
Why is apache executing openvpn?

Comment 2 John Griffiths 2013-09-04 13:27:09 UTC
I do not know. I made no changes that would cause that to my knowledge.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2013-09-04 13:28:21 UTC
Actually it is not executing, it is just strolling around looking at different directories on your system.

Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2013-09-09 17:56:53 UTC
It looks there is a module?

Comment 5 Joe Orton 2014-01-29 17:15:47 UTC
A reasonable assumption would be that your server has been compromised if httpd is attempting to look at the VPN configuration.
