Description Ian Pilcher 2013-07-03 18:24:01 UTC

Description of problem:
Trying to use runcon to debug another SELinux-related issue (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=818754#c44).

# runcon system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 modprobe openvswitch
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/bash from using the 'transition' accesses on a process.

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

If you believe that bash should be allowed transition access on processes labeled openvswitch_t 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 sh /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2013-07-10 22:45:26 UTC

Not that simple, You can either add a 

Transitioning from one domain to another involves multiple access rules.

allow unconfined_t openvswitch_t:process transition;


But if you were executing 

runcon -r system_r -t openvswitch_t /bin/kmod

You would also need.

allow openvswitch_t insmod_exec_t:file entrypoint;


But that is not necessarily what you want since you might want to see if openvswitch_t can transition to insmod_t when executing kmod.

Something like:

runcon -r system_r -t openvswitch_t /bin/sh -c /bin/kmod


Which would require
allow openvswitch_t bin_t:file entrypoint;

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2013-07-12 12:12:34 UTC

Basically you can do it using these steps:

Check if there is no transition

# sesearch -A -s openvswitch_t -t insmod_t -c processes

=> no output => you can run

# runcon -u system_u -r system_r -t initrc_t -- runcon -t openvswitch_t -- kmod

for example. But it ends up with 

allow openvswitch_t insmod_exec_t:file entrypoint;

So you need to change labeling for kmod and then you can run "runcon"

# chcon -t openvswitch_exec_t /bin/kmod
# runcon -u system_u -r system_r -t initrc_t -- runcon -t openvswitch_t -- kmod

which will run kmod in the openvswitch_t domain. After testing MAKE SURE you run

# restorecon -v /bin/kmod
