Description Matt Anderson 2007-05-15 14:45:25 UTC

Description of problem:
When aide generates a report of changed files if it has found SELinux context
differences the report limits the displayed context to the first 32 characters
of the context.  Often this misses the MLS/MCS portion entirely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
aide-0.12-9.el5

How reproducible:
Everytime the context is greater than 32 characters.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run aide to generate a database
2. Change the context of a watched file
3. Re-run aide and notice the report output
  
Actual results:


AIDE found differences between database and filesystem!!
Start timestamp: 2007-05-14 19:31:44

Summary:
  Total number of files:        13467

  SELinux  : staff_u:object_r:lspp_test_output_t:SystemLow ,
staff_u:object_r:lspp_test_output_t:Secret


Additional info:
This is not blocking the evaluation since aide does notice the change.  It
correctly audits the difference on the filesystem.  Apparently due to report
convention (as seen in the Ctime entry) the output is currently limited to 32
characters per side.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2007-05-15 15:03:39 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 2 Steve Grubb 2007-05-15 21:48:33 UTC

Since this is not blocking eval, I'm resetting severity to medium.
