Description Jan Pazdziora 2011-08-16 11:57:17 UTC
Description of problem:

When we use squid with pam authentication, we get the following AVC denials:

type=AVC msg=audit(1313494716.857:195): avc:  denied  { create } for  pid=1413 comm="pam_auth" scontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tcontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tclass=netlink_audit_socket
type=AVC msg=audit(1313494716.858:196): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=1413 comm="pam_auth" scontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tcontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tclass=netlink_audit_socket
type=AVC msg=audit(1313494716.858:196): avc:  denied  { nlmsg_relay } for  pid=1413 comm="pam_auth" scontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tcontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tclass=netlink_audit_socket
type=AVC msg=audit(1313494716.858:196): avc:  denied  { audit_write } for  pid=1413 comm="pam_auth" capability=29 scontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tcontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tclass=capability
type=AVC msg=audit(1313494716.858:198): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=1413 comm="pam_auth" scontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tcontext=root:system_r:squid_t:s0 tclass=netlink_audit_socket

This was gathered in permissive.

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

# rpm -q redhat-release selinux-policy squid
redhat-release-5Server-5.7.0.3
selinux-policy-2.4.6-316.el5
squid-2.6.STABLE21-6.el5

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Comment out http_access in /etc/squid/squid.conf and add lines like

auth_param basic program /usr/lib64/squid/pam_auth 
                      acl pam proxy_auth REQUIRED
                      acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
                      http_access allow pam
                      http_access allow localhost
                      http_access deny all

to it, then try to use the squid.
  
Actual results:

AVC denials line above, in the case of enforcing the operation fails.

Expected results:

No AVC denials.

We have in RHEL6

auth_domtrans_chk_passwd(squid_t)

which allow this.

Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-317.el5
