Yes. #============= irc_t ============== #!!!! This avc can be allowed using one of the these booleans: # nis_enabled, irc_use_any_tcp_ports allow irc_t unreserved_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect; Hmm, I seem to have left several things out of that bug report that I thought I wrote. -_- Sorry. My point was that the bug is that "man irssi_selinux" says:
If you want to allow the Irssi IRC Client to connect to any port, and to bind to any unreserved port, you must turn on the irssi_use_full_network boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P irssi_use_full_network 1
If you want to allow users to resolve user p
which appears to be false.
-Robin
man irc_selinux
...
If you want to determine whether irc clients can listen on and connect
to any unreserved TCP ports, you must turn on the irc_use_any_tcp_ports
boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P irc_use_any_tcp_ports 1
I don't see how the contents of "man irc_selinux" are relevant to my bug report that the contents of "man irssi_selinux" are wrong? If irssi_use_full_network does something, then "man irssi_selinux" should at least be updated to mention irc_use_any_tcp_ports , but since irssi runs as irc_t now, I don't think irssi_use_full_network actually does anything at all, and in fact I suspect that the entire irssi_selinux man page should be removed, but one way or another, that man page is either incomplete or irrelevant, and should be changed; the contents of the irc_selinux man page don't change that. Miroslav, did you intend to combine these domains? /usr/bin/[st]irc -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:irc_exec_t,s0) /usr/bin/ircII -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:irc_exec_t,s0) /usr/bin/irssi -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:irc_exec_t,s0) /usr/bin/tinyirc -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:irc_exec_t,s0) Seems we have nothing defined as irrsi_exec_t? This is due to merging refpolicy into Fedora. Fedora has a irssi policy module, but upstream insisted irssi support be added to her existing irc module. Then later refpolicy was merged into Fedora and thus she ended up with two variants I would suggest we remove the existing irssi module and go with the irc variant instead to stay in-sync with upstread. I agree, we should just typealias irssi_t to irc_t. Get rid of the confusing boolean and the man page. Lukas, could you try to do it? Sure. I'm going to try it today. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
(as always, I have unconfined off) As far as I can tell, irssi_use_full_network has no real effect in F19; I still get: type=SOCKADDR msg=audit(08/07/2013 23:49:46.709:10391) : saddr=inet host:84.240.3.129 serv:7070 type=AVC msg=audit(08/07/2013 23:49:46.709:10391) : avc: denied { name_connect } for pid=2784 comm=irssi dest=7070 scontext=user_u:user_r:irc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unreserved_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket when it tries to open weird ports. I have to instead use irc_use_any_tcp_ports
