CAP_SYS_ADMIN
* Perform a range of system administration operations including:
quotactl(2), mount(2), umount(2), swapon(2), swapoff(2), sethost‐
name(2), and setdomainname(2);
* perform IPC_SET and IPC_RMID operations on arbitrary System V IPC
objects;
* perform operations on trusted and security Extended Attributes
(see attr(5));
* use lookup_dcookie(2);
* use ioprio_set(2) to assign IOPRIO_CLASS_RT and (before Linux
2.6.25) IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE I/O scheduling classes;
* forge UID when passing socket credentials;
* exceed /proc/sys/fs/file-max, the system-wide limit on the number
of open files, in system calls that open files (e.g., accept(2),
execve(2), open(2), pipe(2));
* employ CLONE_NEWNS flag with clone(2) and unshare(2);
* perform KEYCTL_CHOWN and KEYCTL_SETPERM keyctl(2) operations;
* perform madvise(2) MADV_HWPOISON operation.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: The alert happened during the first boot after the install of packages gpsd and gpsd-clients SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/gpsd from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that gpsd should have the sys_admin capability 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 gpsd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:gpsd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:gpsd_t:s0 Target Objects [ capability ] Source gpsd Source Path /usr/sbin/gpsd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages gpsd-3.9-1.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-74.11.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.11.8-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Nov 13 16:29:59 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-11-20 07:30:16 CET Last Seen 2013-11-20 07:30:16 CET Local ID d8164086-b980-4757-95ce-1730ec125823 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1384929016.881:140): avc: denied { sys_admin } for pid=847 comm="gpsd" capability=21 scontext=system_u:system_r:gpsd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:gpsd_t:s0 tclass=capability type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1384929016.881:140): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EBUSY a0=656c90 a1=900 a2=66b600 a3=7fff7f2b9f60 items=0 ppid=1 pid=847 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=gpsd exe=/usr/sbin/gpsd subj=system_u:system_r:gpsd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: gpsd,gpsd_t,gpsd_t,capability,sys_admin Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.9 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.11.8-200.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 823295
