Description Andrew Bauer 2018-12-03 18:02:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Steps to reproduce:
1) dnf install fcgiwrap nginx
2) systemctl start fcgiwrap@nginx
3) systemctl start nginx
3) use a web application such as zoneminder, gitweb, or another that uses fcgiwrap

See bz 1655281 for discussion, including the proposed, comprensive solution:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1655281
SELinux is preventing nginx from 'write' accesses on the sock_file fcgiwrap-nginx.sock.

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

If you believe that nginx should be allowed write access on the fcgiwrap-nginx.sock 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:
# ausearch -c 'nginx' --raw | audit2allow -M my-nginx
# semodule -X 300 -i my-nginx.pp

Comment 1 Lukas Vrabec 2018-12-12 15:04:57 UTC 
Hi, 

Where is this socket locate on the system? "fcgiwrap-nginx.sock"

THanks,
Lukas.
Comment 2 Andrew Bauer 2018-12-12 15:22:16 UTC 
The fcgiwrap package uses instantiated unit files to set file names & permissions that follow the web server user account. Consequently, the filename of the socket file is not static. It has the format fcgiwrap-%i.sock where %i is nginx, httpd, or with whatever user account name the sys admin calls the service.

Doing this allows the sys admin to run multiple instances of fcgiwrap, each with different socket files, if such a need arises.

The latest fcgiwrap, which is just now coming out of testing, places the socket file(s) into the /var/run/fcgiwrap/ folder.

That's a little more than what you asked, but I through it would help to understand the whole picture.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Label /var/run/fcgiwrap dir as httpd_var_run_t BZ(1655702)


This should fix the issue for future releases. Directory /var/run/fcgiwrap will be labeled as httpd_var_run_t and socket in this dir will inherits the label. Allow rules for this action are already defined in policy: 

# sesearch -A -s httpd_t -t httpd_var_run_t -c sock_file 
allow domain pidfile:sock_file { append getattr open write };
allow httpd_t httpd_var_run_t:sock_file { append create getattr ioctl link lock open read rename setattr unlink write };
