Description Vladimir Rusinov 2015-03-15 23:46:36 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from 'read' accesses on the directory /root/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages.

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

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed read access on the site-packages 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 fail2ban-client /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2015-03-16 14:18:02 UTC
fail2ban python scripts should use 
#! /usr/bin/python -Es


You don't want python accidentally/maliciously grabbing content from this directory.

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2015-03-16 15:36:55 UTC
Reported upstream.  If this really is the case, seems like we should have a packaging guideline on this for all python daemons/services.

Comment 3 Vladimir Rusinov 2015-03-16 18:24:30 UTC
I agree with denial, I don't agree with attempt. :)

Thanks for reporting upstream!

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2015-03-17 20:05:19 UTC
Orion, I agree.  I think all shipping Python versions should really use these settings. Since it prevents bugs and potential attacks.  Most users would never think that a file in their $HOME/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages directory could break every python application on the system without this flag set.
