Description Ashish Shukla 2007-07-22 16:35:29 UTC
Description of problem:
Whenever I execute fetchmail to fetch mail from my remote mail server, into my
local mail server, I get this SELinux denial. I've even tried relabeling my
filesystem, but no change.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-2.6.4-26.fc7
selinux-policy-targeted-2.6.4-26.fc7
postfix-2.4.3-2.fc7
fetchmail-6.3.7-1.fc7

How reproducible:
Reproducible everytime.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start fetchmail.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Got SELinux AVC denial.


Expected results:
No AVC denial should be there.

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd (postfix_smtpd_t) "read
    write" to (null) (unlabeled_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd. It is not
    expected that this access is required by /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd and this
    access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the
    specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to
    require additional access.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could try to
    restore the default system file context for (null), restorecon -v (null) If
    this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this
    access. Instead,  you can generate a local policy module to allow this
    access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you
    can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is
    not recommended. Please file a
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
