Description Zdenek Pytela 2016-11-09 10:54:00 UTC
Description of problem:
After update to RHEL 7.3, zabbix stopped working. The zabbix agent is not able to run setrlimit syscall as it is denied by selinux policy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.13.1-102.el7.noarch
zabbix-agent-3.2.1-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to RHEL 7.3
2. Start the zabbix-agent service

Actual results:
Service start failed.
$ ausearch -i -m avc -if var/log/audit/audit.log | head -n 4
    ----
    type=SYSCALL msg=audit(11/07/16 00:30:26.452:96350) : arch=x86_64 syscall=setrlimit success=no exit=-13(Permission denied) a0=RLIMIT_CORE a1=0x7ffe3e023a10 a2=0x0 a3=0x7ffe3e023790 items=0 ppid=1 pid=21822 auid=unset uid=openvpn gid=chrony euid=openvpn suid=openvpn fsuid=openvpn egid=chrony sgid=chrony fsgid=chrony tty=(none) ses=unset comm=zabbix_agentd exe=/usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd subj=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 key=(null)

    ----

Expected results:
<no avc found>

Additional info:
Worked in RHEL up to 7.2. See also some difference in policy:

rhel 7.2:
    # sesearch -s zabbix_agent_t -t zabbix_agent_t -c process -A
    Found 1 semantic av rules:
       allow zabbix_agent_t zabbix_agent_t : process { fork sigchld sigkill sigstop signull signal getsched setsched getsession setpgid getcap getattr setrlimit } ;
     
rhel 7.3:
    # sesearch -s zabbix_agent_t -t zabbix_agent_t -c process -A
    Found 1 semantic av rules:
       allow zabbix_agent_t zabbix_agent_t : process { fork sigchld sigkill sigstop signull signal getsched setsched setpgid getcap } ;

I'm also seeing this bug. Seems to be the same as described in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1323518

Comment 7 Thomas Mueller 2017-05-26 07:09:53 UTC
why is this sill in VERIFIED state? 

Reading https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow#VERIFIED i would expect that the update should have been released?

Comment 8 Milos Malik 2017-05-26 07:37:19 UTC
This is a RHEL bug, RHEL workflow is different from Fedora. selinux-policy packages which contain the fix will be available as soon as RHEL-7.4 goes out.

Comment 10 Blair Aitken 2017-08-08 16:38:40 UTC
Customer is hitting a problem with this:

"..it seems there is one additional rule that is still missing in latest selinux-policy with RHEL74:

Aug 08 10:22:00 ld-dbn-cddkr001 kernel: type=1400 audit(1502205720.446:25105): avc:  denied  { dac_override } for  pid=27275 comm="zabbix_agentd" capability=1  scontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tclass=capability
Aug 08 10:22:00 ld-dbn-cddkr001 kernel: type=1400 audit(1502205720.446:25105): avc:  denied  { dac_read_search } for  pid=27275 comm="zabbix_agentd" capability=2  scontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:zabbix_agent_t:s0 tclass=capability
Aug 08 10:22:00 ld-dbn-cddkr001 zabbix_agentd[27275]: zabbix_agentd [27275]: cannot open config file "/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf": [13] Permission denied

We would need redhat to add the following rule into future selinux-policy:

allow zabbix_agent_t zabbix_agent_t : capability { dac_override dac_read_search } ;"


Do you want me to open a new bug for this? Or should this be appended to this one?

Thanks!

Blair, 

Open a new BZ and attach the raw audit logs.
