Description Eddie Lania 2012-01-02 19:29:14 UTC
Description of problem:

A "grep systemctl /var/log/audit/audit.log" gives:

type=AVC msg=audit(1324779485.708:1797): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=27830 comm="systemctl" name="private" dev=tmpfs ino=10351 scontext=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:init_var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file

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

selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-69.fc16.noarch


How reproducible: Every time when weekly logrotate takes place.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install logrotate
2. observe /var/log/audit/audit.log
3.
  
Actual results: vc:  denied  { write } for  pid=20490 comm="systemctl" name="private" dev=tmpfs ino=10342 scontext=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:init_var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file


Expected results: No such denial.

Comment 4 Eddie Lania 2012-01-08 12:15:36 UTC
I think it is solved.

I installed selinux-policy-3.10.0-71 on 01/05/2012.

After logrotation took place last night:

ausearch -c systemctl -ts 01/05/2012
<no matches>

while previous week:

ausearch -c systemctl -ts 01/01/2012 -te 01/05/2012

I consider it solved.

Thank you.
