Description Flags
Netlabel avcs from system boot none

Description Linda Knippers 2011-04-22 21:50:13 UTC
Description of problem:
netlabel has a config file that allows netlabelctl commands to be run when 
starting the netlabel service through init.  However, running netlabelctl
at boot time or using run_init with the mls policy fails, generating some AVCs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-3.7.19-82.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-82.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-82.el6.noarch
netlabel_tools-0.19-7.el6.x86_64

Additional info:

I was able to fix the problem with this little policy module,
although there's probably a better way to fix it in the 
system/netlabel.te file.

policy_module(mynetlabel, 1.3)
gen_require(`
type initrc_t;
')

allow initrc_t self:netlink_socket { create bind getattr read setopt write};

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-23 06:00:44 UTC
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-04-25 13:51:44 UTC
Linda what were the AVC's you saw to generate this?

Comment 4 Linda Knippers 2011-04-25 14:10:23 UTC
I knew you were going to ask me that.  I don't think I still have them but I can recreate them if I unload my policy module, which was generated using those AVCs.  Will take me little while to get on the system.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-04-25 14:46:44 UTC
I think we need to add

init_system_domain(netlabel_mgmt_t, netlabel_mgmt_exec_t)

Comment 6 Linda Knippers 2011-04-25 15:21:29 UTC

Netlabel avcs from system boot

These are the AVCs from boot.  I don't recall why I had to add read and write.

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2011-04-25 15:29:38 UTC
Miroslav add the init_system_domain and this should fix the problem

Bug is not fixed in
selinux-policy-3.7.19-90.el6.noarch

there is a problem when executing netlabel service using run_init. 

# run_init service netlabel start

doesn't work but produce following DONTAUDITED AVCs:

type=AVC msg=audit(1303894153.272:147): avc:  denied  { read write } for  pid=2873 comm="netlabelctl" name="4" dev=devpts ino=7 scontext=system_u:system_r:netlabel_mgmt_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_devpts_t:s0 tclass=chr_file

In PERMISSIVE mode there is also { getattr } required:

# cat /var/log/audit/audit.log  | grep netlabel | egrep -v '(noatsecure|siginh|rlimitinh)'
type=AVC msg=audit(1303894398.896:168): avc:  denied  { read write } for  pid=3078 comm="netlabelctl" name="4" dev=devpts ino=7 scontext=system_u:system_r:netlabel_mgmt_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_devpts_t:s0 tclass=chr_file

netlabel service seems to start properly during the boot although following AVC (this time it is not dontaudited) appears in the log:

# grep netlabel /var/log/audit/audit.log 
type=AVC msg=audit(1303895369.165:14): avc:  denied  { read write } for  pid=964 comm="netlabelctl" path="/dev/console" dev=devtmpfs ino=5058 scontext=system_u:system_r:netlabel_mgmt_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:console_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file

my REPRODUCER:
# cat > /etc/netlabel.rules <<EOF
netlabelctl cipsov4 add pass doi:6000 tags:1
netlabelctl map add domain:"foo_t" protocol:cipsov4,6000

Comment 13 Miroslav Grepl 2011-04-27 10:37:16 UTC
Karel,
could you test it with local policy which will contain

term_use_all_terms(netlabel_mgmt_t)

it should work.

Comment 14 Karel Srot 2011-04-27 11:37:06 UTC
With term_use_all_terms(netlabel_mgmt_t) it si working fine, no AVC.

Comment 15 Miroslav Grepl 2011-04-27 13:40:34 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-91.el6
