Description Jamie Nguyen 2013-07-15 17:10:22 UTC
Description of problem:

strongswan fails to start with a fairly simple configuration. Turns out there are a few selinux permissions missing, but that was easily remedied with a custom module.te that I've pasted below. Feel free to suggest what may or may not be a good idea in default policy, but this is the minimal permissions I needed to get strongswan running. Please do commit a fix in rawhide, f19, f18 and el6, that would be much appreciated! :-)


require {
        type ipsec_t;
        type sysctl_net_t;
        type dhcpc_port_t;
        class capability { net_raw setgid };
        class netlink_route_socket nlmsg_write;
        class udp_socket name_bind;
        class file write;
        class packet_socket { create setopt };
}

#============= ipsec_t ==============
allow ipsec_t dhcpc_port_t:udp_socket name_bind;
allow ipsec_t self:capability { net_raw setgid };
allow ipsec_t self:netlink_route_socket nlmsg_write;
allow ipsec_t self:packet_socket { create setopt };
allow ipsec_t sysctl_net_t:file write;

Could you please attach AVC msgs for these rules. Thank you.

Comment 3 Jamie Nguyen 2013-07-16 10:12:03 UTC
Just a note that on EL6, strongswan currently runs as initrc_t so I've not seen any AVC messages.

If you introduce the fcontext changes in:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984686
to EL6, as well as the additional one I mention in this comment:
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984686#c2
then I get some AVC messages which I'll attach.
