policy-dnssd.patch

This selinux-policy patch fixes it.  Dan, I'm a little hesitant about this
patch because it allows cupsd_t to execute /sbin/ifconfig.  I only want CUPS
backends to be able to determine the IP addresses of the local interfaces, and
do not want to permit any changes.

Currently there is a backend (dnssd) which is a perl script that contains:

my @localips = ();
if (open IFCONFIG, "LC_ALL=C /sbin/ifconfig |") {
    while (my $line = <IFCONFIG>) {
	chomp $line;
	if ($line =~ /^\s*inet\s+addr:\s*(\S+)/i) {
	    push (@localips, $1);
	}
    }
    close IFCONFIG;
}

Is there a way to let this script find out the local IP addresses without being
able to make any changes to the interfaces?

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2008-01-09 13:26:02 UTC
Oops, forgot to change component first.  Dan, please see above comment.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2008-01-10 21:13:01 UTC
This would not allow it to change ther interface.

Is this needed for RHEL5?



Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2008-01-10 21:22:40 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.0.8-75

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2008-01-11 12:19:56 UTC
No, it is not needed for RHEL-5, at least not presently.  The 'dnssd' backend is
not shipped there.

Thanks.
