Description Ralf Ertzinger 2019-09-30 10:58:06 UTC
Description of problem:

Using exim with a mysql backend creates AVCs like this (which seem non fatal):

type=AVC msg=audit(1569840075.337:364580): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=1056 comm="exim" path="/etc/my.cnf" dev="vda5" ino=17362796 scontext=system_u:system_r:exim_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mysqld_etc_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

The mysql client libraries want to read the mysql config files in /etc. This should probably be allowed, as there might be client specific configuration there.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-46.fc30.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

This also applies to RHEL7 if exim is installed from EPEL. I suspect EPEL8 to have the same issue once exim shows up there.
