Description gharris999 2009-12-31 17:38:41 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /sbin/ifconfig "read" access on
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SrvrPowerCtrl/Plugin.pm.

Detailed Description:

[ifconfig has a permissive type (ifconfig_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by ifconfig. It is not expected that this access
is required by ifconfig 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:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 gharris999 2009-12-31 17:47:07 UTC
Um...why in the world would ifconfig want to "read" a perl module?

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-01-04 14:13:04 UTC
It doesn't.  This is a leaked file descriptor.  Looks like a bug in squezeboxserver.

Why is 
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SrvrPowerCtrl/Plugin.pm
labeled mysqld_db_t? 

ls -lZ /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SrvrPowerCtrl/Plugin.pm

squeezeboxserver needs to close its file descriptors on exec

fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)

You can allow these leaks for now by executing

# grep ifconfig /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow myifconfig
# semodule -i myifconfig.pp
