Description Grégoire 2016-01-28 11:00:33 UTC
This prevents sstp VPN from starting. Note that it worked before so it might be due to a recent update...?

SELinux is preventing sstpc from create access on the sock_file sstpc-nm-sstp-service-8849.

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

If you believe that sstpc should be allowed create access on the sstpc-nm-sstp-service-8849 sock_file 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 sstpc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Lukas Vrabec 2016-02-08 10:21:30 UTC
Hi, 
where is "sstpc-nm-sstp-service-8849" sock_file stored? Thank you.

Comment 2 Grégoire 2016-02-08 10:36:56 UTC
Hello. It is located in /run/sstpc. Note that the number at the end changes each time I restart the VPN.

I took a more detailed look at the audit.log and it seems that, in addition to the create permission, sstpc needs setattr and unlink permissions and pppd needs write permission on the same file.

I didn't remember this when reporting the bug but I'm using the NetworkManager plugin for sstp which is not in the fedora repository (installed from a copr repo).  So maybe I should have reported this to the author of the package instead?

Comment 3 Lukas Vrabec 2016-02-08 11:32:53 UTC
Could you attach audit.log file or all AVCs in this file?

Thank you.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 15:14:46 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

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 23 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.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 18:15:56 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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.
