Description Jay Rothschild 2010-08-29 21:29:50 UTC

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /bin/bash access to a leaked /bin/sh file descriptor.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by the sh command. It looks like this is either
a leaked descriptor or sh output was redirected to a file it is not allowed to
access. Leaks usually can be ignored since SELinux is just closing the leak and
reporting the error. The application does not use the descriptor, so it will run
properly. If this is a redirection, you will not get output in the /bin/sh. You
should generate a bugzilla on selinux-policy, and it will get routed to the
appropriate package. You can safely ignore this avc.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385)

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-08-30 13:09:48 UTC

This is the second time I have seen this AVC. Looking at the code I do not know what rpcbind is trying to execute.  I guess allowing it to execute bash is ok.

Miroslav can you add this to F13

corecmd_exec_shell(rpcbind_t)
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.0-2.fc14

Comment 5 Jay Rothschild 2010-08-31 19:13:50 UTC

I did yum update yesterday, today I reboot my F14 vm everything appeared "normal".

SELinux message flashes in upper right corner for a moment, I ignore it. Shortly thereafter I go to Applications > System Tools > SELinux troubleshooter, icon spins for normal amount of time, then nothing.

System > Administration > Services, icon spins for normal amount of time, then nothing.

OK, I start a terminal session, & su - it:

Any ideas what I should do here?

THANKS in advance for all your efforts, wow much appreciated! Why Microsoft lasts even one minute with a community like this amazes me.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2010-09-01 13:03:02 UTC

Could you execute

ausearch -m avc -ts today

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2010-09-01 13:03:30 UTC

Also can you ask for help on fedora-list or open a different bug.

Comment 8 Jay Rothschild 2010-09-01 20:59:11 UTC

I decided to scratch this install and re-install. Things seem to be fine now.

In my opinion SELinux needs to be set to permissive for at least your first yum update. Subsequent SELinux policy is fixed I think but the one that comes on the non-updated alpha stops some things from being written properly during yum update and that causes a downstream mess...

THANKS!

Comment 9 Daniel Walsh 2010-09-02 15:41:05 UTC

What you really are saying is the Alpha was screwed up with a bug that should have been caught.   But it is an alpha.  Hopefully we will do better in the Beta.

Comment 10 Jay Rothschild 2010-09-02 17:34:41 UTC

No not at all, you are guys doing a fantastic job. I presumed this is exactly why we are doing this; to catch this stuff for the Beta. More my fault in not attaching the significance to the original event which was blossoming into a larger difficult to reverse issue. As I became more familiar with the product I realized how fast I could put it back to order and didn't want you wasting your time as the SELinux policy is fixed now and I'm sure the Beta won't have that issue. Hopefully I was of some limited aid in that process, which is why I do it.

In the whole of my experience I've seen much slower progress with various products over the years sometimes at as much $500/hour. Microsoft can take as long as a year to turn over an issue like this. I would congratulate yourselves as the best and doing a fine job. THANKS!
