Description Nathan Kinder 2009-09-15 19:08:46 UTC
If you configure snmpd to listen on tcp or udp for agentx subagents, an AVC similar to the following occurs:

type=AVC msg=audit(1253041370.420:31047): avc:  denied  { name_bind } for  pid=4153 comm="snmpd" src=705 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:agentx_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1253041370.420:31047): arch=c000003e syscall=49 success=no exit=-2037915688 a0=7 a1=7fffd27cbfc0 a2=10 a3=7fffd27cbf8c items=0 ppid=1 pid=4153 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="snmpd" exe="/usr/sbin/snmpd" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 key=(null)

The snmpd daemon needs to be able to listen on the agentx port.  The seems that the following should be added to snmp.te:

corenet_tcp_bind_agentx_port(snmpd_t)
corenet_udp_bind_agentx_port(snmpd_t)

If you say it is legitimate, it is good enough for me.

Miroslav add these lines.

Comment 2 Nathan Kinder 2009-09-15 23:33:10 UTC
One other thing that I just noticed is that snmptrapd is not allowed to communicate over agentx using a unix domain socket.  We need to add the following in addition to the macros I mentioned above:

    snmp_stream_connect(snmpd_t)

Note that this requires this macro to be available, which it is not on certain Fedora versions.  This would require bug 478629 to be addressed.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2009-09-16 12:40:42 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.12-83.fc11.noarch

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 10:23:07 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 14:40:07 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
