Description Alex Williamson 2010-09-08 18:14:18 UTC
Description of problem:

Trying to create a simple wrapper:

$ cat /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm.foo
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm "$@"

And setting permissions via restorecon:

$ ls -Z /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm*
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:qemu_exec_t:s0 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:qemu_exec_t:s0 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm.foo

Results in exec_no_trans errors in audit.log.  audit2allow resolves the problem.  As the transition is safe, selinux should allow this by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.7.19-42.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See description above
2. virsh edit <guest domain> # point emulator at qemu-kvm.foo
3. virst start <guest domain>
  
Actual results:
Fail, audit.log error

Expected results:
Works

Additional info:

This is the change that seems to make it work:

module qemutxtimer 1.0;

require {
	type svirt_t;
	type qemu_exec_t;
	type qemu_t;
	class file execute_no_trans;
}

#============= qemu_t ==============
#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy

allow qemu_t qemu_exec_t:file execute_no_trans;

#============= svirt_t ==============
allow svirt_t qemu_exec_t:file execute_no_trans;
