Description Tom London 2010-05-19 13:18:45 UTC
Description of problem:
After installing abrt-1.1.2-1.fc14.x86_64 and rebooting, abrtd fails to start:

May 18 21:58:56 tlondon abrtd: Can't create '/var/spool/abrt': Permission denied
May 18 21:58:56 tlondon kernel: type=1400 audit(1274245136.943:26635): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=4919 comm="abrtd" name="spool" dev=dm-0 ino=5332994 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir
May 18 21:58:56 tlondon kernel: type=1400 audit(1274245136.944:26636): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=4919 comm="abrtd" name="spool" dev=dm-0 ino=5332994 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir

And on the following reboot:

May 19 06:02:09 tlondon abrtd: Can't create '/var/spool/abrt': Permission denied

Putting system into permissive mode and running 'service abrtd start', I see:

May 19 06:15:45 tlondon kernel: type=1400 audit(1274274945.223:27089): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=2413 comm="abrtd" name="spool" dev=dm-0 ino=5332994 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir
May 19 06:15:45 tlondon kernel: type=1400 audit(1274274945.223:27090): avc:  denied  { add_name } for  pid=2413 comm="abrtd" name="abrt" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir
May 19 06:15:45 tlondon kernel: type=1400 audit(1274274945.240:27091): avc:  denied  { create } for  pid=2413 comm="abrtd" name="abrt" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=lnk_file

Looks like abrtd wants:
#============= abrt_t ==============
#!!!! The source type 'abrt_t' can write to a 'dir' of the following types:
# abrt_var_log_t, rpm_var_run_t, abrt_var_run_t, tmp_t, var_t, abrt_tmp_t, var_run_t, rpm_var_cache_t, abrt_var_cache_t, var_log_t, root_t

allow abrt_t var_spool_t:dir { write add_name };
allow abrt_t var_t:lnk_file create;


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt-1.1.2-1.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time abrtd starts

Additional info:

Comment 1 Tom London 2010-05-19 13:20:27 UTC
Should have added selinux-policy version:

selinux-policy-3.7.19-17.fc13.noarch

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-19 17:39:38 UTC
Tom, it should have been relabeled.

restorecon -R -v /var/cache/abrt  Should fix.

Comment 3 Tom London 2010-05-19 18:29:51 UTC
Believe this version moved the files from /var/cache/abrt to /var/spool/abrt.
