I found that the audit message is related to executing 'cobblerd check' command. I have corrected my original message accordingly. |
Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/systemctl from read access on the directory journal. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that systemctl should be allowed read access on the journal directory 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 'systemctl' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemctl # semodule -X 300 -i my-systemctl.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:cobblerd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:syslogd_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects journal [ dir ] Source systemctl Source Path /usr/bin/systemctl Port <Unknown> Host <Unknown> Source RPM Packages systemd-252-46.0.3.el9_5.3.x86_64 Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-38.1.45-3.0.1.el9_5.noarch Local Policy RPM cobbler-selinux-3.3.7-1.el9.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name netboot.bp.local Platform Linux netboot.bp.local 5.14.0-503.31.1.el9_5.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Mar 11 08:08:01 PDT 2025 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 3 First Seen 2025-03-19 19:38:10 +04 Last Seen 2025-03-19 20:08:52 +04 Local ID 3658eec8-8164-4565-bdf2-9a7240941dfd Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1742400532.976:9660): avc: denied { read } for pid=53985 comm="systemctl" name="journal" dev="tmpfs" ino=60 scontext=system_u:system_r:cobblerd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:syslogd_var_run_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1742400532.976:9660): arch=x86_64 syscall=openat success=no exit=EACCES a0=ffffff9c a1=7fc7ecd0cd60 a2=90800 a3=0 items=0 ppid=53984 pid=53985 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=systemctl exe=/usr/bin/systemctl subj=system_u:system_r:cobblerd_t:s0 key=(null)ARCH=x86_64 SYSCALL=openat AUID=unset UID=root GID=root EUID=root SUID=root FSUID=root EGID=root SGID=root FSGID=root Hash: systemctl,cobblerd_t,syslogd_var_run_t,dir,read Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qa cobbler* cobbler-selinux-3.3.7-1.el9.noarch cobbler-3.3.7-1.el9.noarch # rpm -qa systemd systemd-252-46.0.3.el9_5.3.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install cobbler 2. systemctl start cobblerd 3. cobbler check Actual results: SELinux prevents /usr/bin/systemctl run by cobblerd from read access on the directory journal. Expected results: 'cobbler check' does not result in SELinux errors.
