Hello, I see this also regularly in logs on a Redhat 7.5. Wondering the reason and if this is a problem.... ? Marc RHEL-7.6 selinux-policy now contains following rule: dontaudit abrt_dump_oops_t nscd_t : unix_stream_socket connectto ; which means that communication between abrt-hook-ccpp and nscd through the /run/nscd/socket is impossible, because a similar allow rule is not present. If the reporter wanted to silence the SELinux denial then the fix is OK. If the reporter wanted to make the communication possible then the fix is wrong. I assume that it is not neccessary to allow abrt-hook-ccpp to communicate to nscd, because (hopefully) it will fall back to regular (non-cached) name service lookup if nscd-based lookup fails. (Maybe you can double-check with the glibc experts, just to be sure?) So, if my assumption above is correct, it is sufficient to suppress the SElinux denial message with abovementioned fix. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2018:3111 |
