Description mdeggers 2011-06-21 21:50:19 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/eu-unstrip from 'read' accesses on the directory /usr/lib/httpd/modules.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that eu-unstrip should be allowed read access on the modules directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep eu-unstrip /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

I ran into this when I built a new Apache module (mod_jk) from source.

The steps to reproduce this are as follows:

1. Download tomcat-connectors-1.2.31-src from tomcat.apache.org
2. Unpack
3. cd to tomcat-connectors-1.2.31-src/native
4. configure with --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-java-home=/usr/java
(using Oracle's 1.6.0_26)
5. Install by copying (as root) to /etc/httpd/modules (bad model, I know)
6. Execute systemctl restart httpd.service

ls -Z shows that all modules have the same SELinux info:

-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:httpd_modules_t:s0 mod_jk.so

Any idea why eu-unstrip is listing the contents of /etc/httpd/modules?

Comment 2 Nikola Pajkovsky 2011-06-22 15:19:31 UTC
Looks to me that module fails and abrt tries to strip out debuginfo hash from .so

Comment 3 mdeggers 2011-06-22 16:32:45 UTC
I just rebuilt and re-installed the module. My test web application (simple cluster application with three Tomcats) works as expected. Clustering works as expected.

I did see some unexpected segmentation faults from a few days ago, but nothing that directly relates to the installation. I imagine that this was possibly due to an Apache upgrade during preupgrade and I didn't rebuild this module.

I made a poor choice of policy names when I added the policy (httpdpol), but it doesn't seem to have created a name collision. Unloading it and rerunning the application doesn't raise an alert.

I think I'm going to chalk this up to bad install practice, although I don't see any difference in what was added to /usr/lib/httpd/modules by running make install.

I apologize for what appears to be a false alarm. Please close the bug.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-06-22 18:23:21 UTC
Miroslav I updated rawhide to allow this

cc6210ebfd15b3d3b480c7dc28744ed9bf0186b3

I think we should back port this to RHEL6 and F14, F15
