Description andy york 2009-11-20 13:21:48 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from using potentially mislabeled files
/var/run/pcscd.pub.

Detailed Description:

[httpd has a permissive type (httpd_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux has denied the httpd access to potentially mislabeled files
/var/run/pcscd.pub. This means that SELinux will not allow httpd to use these
files. If httpd should be allowed this access to these files you should change
the file context to one of the following types, net_conf_t, sysctl_crypto_t,
public_content_t, sysctl_kernel_t, httpd_modules_t, user_tmp_t, textrel_shlib_t,
httpd_suexec_exec_t, application_exec_type, mailman_cgi_exec_t,

httpd_munin_content_rw_t, root_t, httpd_bugzilla_content_ra_t,
httpd_bugzilla_content_rw_t. Many third party apps install html files in
directories that SELinux policy cannot predict. These directories have to be
labeled with a file context which httpd can access.

Allowing Access:

If you want to change the file context of /var/run/pcscd.pub so that the httpd
daemon can access it, you need to execute it using semanage fcontext -a -t
FILE_TYPE '/var/run/pcscd.pub'.
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: net_conf_t, sysctl_crypto_t,
public_content_t, sysctl_kernel_t, httpd_modules_t, user_tmp_t, textrel_shlib_t,
httpd_suexec_exec_t, application_exec_type, mailman_cgi_exec_t,
rpm_script_tmp_t, httpd_squid_htaccess_t, httpd_munin_htaccess_t,
mailman_archive_t, etc_runtime_t, ld_so_t, user_home_t, httpd_var_lib_t,
httpd_var_run_t, bin_t, cert_t, httpd_t, lib_t, usr_t, httpd_awstats_htaccess_t,
httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t, httpd_user_htaccess_t, chroot_exec_t, httpd_keytab_t,
public_content_rw_t, httpd_bugzilla_htaccess_t, etcfile, mailman_data_t,
httpd_apcupsd_cgi_htaccess_t, system_dbusd_var_lib_t, httpd_cvs_htaccess_t,

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2009-11-20 13:31:02 UTC
Why is apache looking at /var/run/pcscd.pub?

Are you using some kind of public key tool?

Comment 2 andy york 2009-11-21 14:49:21 UTC
No idea. Just installed F12 clean after botched upgrade. Was able to restore some html stuff from backup. May be a Wordpress issue of some kind. Saved "/var/run/pcscd.pub" as "/var/run/pcscd.pub.old" and deleted it with no effect noticed. Hope that helps.

Comment 3 andy york 2009-11-23 03:07:31 UTC
It is being triggered by WP-Stats Wordpress plugin.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2009-11-23 16:23:18 UTC
I think it is causing httpd to do a listing of all files in /var/run, which is causing the problem.

I think if you removed the file all together it would probably fix the avc.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2009-11-23 16:26:32 UTC
You can add these rules for now using

# grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp


Will be dontaudited.

Comment 6 andy york 2009-11-23 19:47:28 UTC
Did that... got same warning plus a new one for /var/run/pcscd.pid
Deleted both files /var/run/pcscd.pub and /var/run/pcscd.pid and seems to be fine now. Don't know where those file(s) originated... just installed F12 clean. Thanks for your help and patience.

Comment 10 Pierre-Antoine Roiron 2012-03-19 08:46:05 UTC
I get this bug on my apache local-only server. I'm using Fedora 16 up-to-date. I don't run any blog on it, just a little localwebsite html/php/mysql generating invoices, quotes, etc...
SELinux is 3.10.0
I didn't notice any effect of this bug on my activity.

Comment 11 Daniel Walsh 2012-03-19 15:01:49 UTC
It is probably caused by an authorization tool looking at your smart card services.

Since you are most likely not using smartcard for authorization, I don't think this is a problem.

Comment 12 Pierre-Antoine Roiron 2012-03-19 16:09:58 UTC
Thank you for your answer.
