Description Rodd Clarkson 2013-10-30 23:27:45 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm trying to reprovision my existing web development environment on f20 (it's been working on f19).
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from 'read' accesses on the directory cpu.

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

If you believe that perl should be allowed read access on the cpu directory 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 index.cgi /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Rodd Clarkson 2013-10-30 23:35:17 UTC
I tried running:

# grep index.cgi /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol

as suggested and got:

# grep index.cgi /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
compilation failed:
sh: /usr/bin/checkmodule: No such file or directory

Running

# grep index.cgi /var/log/audit/audit.log

works fine (at least it outputs stuff)

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2013-11-01 16:57:00 UTC
yum install checkpolicy

Will fix that problem.

What is the location of the index.cgi?  Is this something you wrote?

Comment 3 Rodd Clarkson 2013-11-01 22:48:59 UTC
index.cgi is a perl script I've written and have been using for some 10 years now (with the occasional alteration, but most unchanged).

I can provide you with the script if you like.

I don't know what the 'directory cpu' is.  I'm assuming it's a directory called cpu, but I haven't made this, so I assumed this was a perl running on fedora issue.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2013-11-04 16:58:39 UTC
/sys/bus/cpu
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu
/sys/devices/cpu
/sys/devices/system/cpu


Is what it is trying to read.

It could be an upgrade to perl which now checks one of these files.

Did your script work correctly?

Comment 5 Rodd Clarkson 2013-11-05 22:50:26 UTC
Yeah, the script works fine.  I had switched to Permissive, but switching back to Enforcing it still works and there's nothing in the httpd log files that suggests it's an issue.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2013-11-11 18:47:34 UTC
I added dev_list_sysfs(httpd_sys_script_t)
 to .git.

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2013-11-11 18:48:04 UTC
4340e59155b7f34de781bc269429f14f919dd8de fixes this in git.
