Description Karel Srot 2011-09-12 10:14:47 UTC
Description of problem:

selinux-policy-3.7.19-109.el6.noarch

This seems to be something new. 
Following is not allowed neither in RHEL6.1  but in RHEL6.1 these AVCs didn't appear. In RHEL6.1 AVCs appear occasionally. 

Seems like some library rsyslog is using changed the behavior (same behavior with RHEL6.1 rsyslog packages)

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2011-09-12 11:48:08 UTC
Any idea why radiusd needs this access?

Comment 3 John Dennis 2011-09-12 13:24:23 UTC
This same issues was reported in Fedora as bug 730843, please see the comments there.

Short story is we do not yet know what is trying to access /tmp. FreeRADIUS is large and complex so it's hard to know if some part of the code is trying to access /tmp but from static code inspection it doesn't seem to. However FreeRADIUS also links with a lot of libraries, any of which could be the culprit. I think we need to run FreeRADIUS under the debugger and break when open() is called on a path containing /tmp to figure out where this is occurring.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-12 19:20:16 UTC
Lets just dontaudit the access and be done with it.

In the past tools have listed the contents of /tmp looking for files like keberos host or cc cache files.
