Description Philip Prindeville 2011-11-16 20:08:10 UTC
Description of problem:

Having done an install of clamav-update, and verified that the log file was created per the script:

[root@mail ~]# rpm -q --scripts clamav-update
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
test -e /var/log/freshclam.log || {
	touch /var/log/freshclam.log
	/bin/chmod 0664 /var/log/freshclam.log
	/bin/chown root:clamupdate /var/log/freshclam.log
}
[root@mail ~]# ls -ld /var/log/freshclam.log 
-rw-rw-r--. 1 root clamupdate 986 Nov 15 15:37 /var/log/freshclam.log
[root@mail ~]# 

I am nonetheless seeing error messages coming back from cron via email:

ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/freshclam.log).
ERROR: Can't open /var/log/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).


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

clamav-update-0.97.3-1500


How reproducible:

Install clamav-update ... wait... read email.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

The above error messages occurs at each cron interval.

Expected results:

It should not be generating warnings.

And... this may be a selinux issue:

[root@mail tmp]# audit2allow -m local > local.te
type=AVC msg=audit(1321481570.162:6971): avc:  denied  { open } for  pid=31073 comm="freshclam" name="freshclam.log" dev=sda2 ino=1179679 scontext=system_u:system_r:freshclam_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=file
[root@mail tmp]# cat local.te

module local 1.0;

require {
	type var_log_t;
	type freshclam_t;
	class file open;
}

#============= freshclam_t ==============
allow freshclam_t var_log_t:file open;
[root@mail tmp]#

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-11-17 21:34:02 UTC
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
test -e /var/log/freshclam.log || {
 touch /var/log/freshclam.log
 /bin/chmod 0664 /var/log/freshclam.log
 /bin/chown root:clamupdate /var/log/freshclam.log
 [-x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon /var/log/freshclam.log
}

Will fix the problem.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-11-17 21:34:43 UTC
Please fix this in F15 and F16, not sure if this effects RHEL6?
