Description Anush Shetty 2012-10-23 14:24:20 UTC
Description of problem: On RHEL 6.3 hypervisor, We saw selinux preventing qemu-kvm getattr access while starting VMs from RHEV-M hosted on RHS storage domain.

We were able to start VMs successfully though. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
# rpm -qa | grep vdsm
vdsm-bootstrap-4.9.6-38.0.el6_3.noarch
vdsm-4.9.6-38.0.el6_3.x86_64
vdsm-python-4.9.6-38.0.el6_3.x86_64
vdsm-cli-4.9.6-38.0.el6_3.noarch
# getsebool -a | grep fusefs
samba_share_fusefs --> off
sanlock_use_fusefs --> on
use_fusefs_home_dirs --> off
virt_use_fusefs --> on

  
# rpm -qa | grep -i selinux
libselinux-python-2.0.94-5.3.el6.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.7.19-155.el6_3.6.noarch
libselinux-2.0.94-5.3.el6.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-155.el6_3.6.noarch
libselinux-utils-2.0.94-5.3.el6.x86_64


How reproducible: Consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a VM hosted on RHS storage domain
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

In audit.log

type=AVC msg=audit(1350997078.489:855): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=10844 comm="qemu-kvm" name="/" dev=fuse ino=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c117,c899 tcontext=system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0 tclass=filesystem

sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm from getattr access on the filesystem /.

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

If you believe that qemu-kvm should be allowed getattr access on the  filesystem 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 qemu-kvm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

It needs to be fixed. I am backporting all fixes related to virt_use_* booleans.
