RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dalibor Pospíšil 2014-05-14 13:48:15 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1066124 +++

Description of problem:

Setting selinux boolean ftp_home_dir to off allows login for users to their home directory with proftpd server.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -qa | grep selinux
libselinux-2.2.2-6.el7.x86_64
libselinux-utils-2.2.2-6.el7.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-153.el7.noarch
selinux-policy-3.12.1-153.el7.noarch
libselinux-python-2.2.2-6.el7.x86_64

# rpm -q vsftpd
vsftpd-3.0.2-9.el7.x86_64



How reproducible:

# getsebool -a | grep ftp
ftp_home_dir --> off
ftpd_anon_write --> off
ftpd_connect_all_unreserved --> off
ftpd_connect_db --> off
ftpd_full_access --> off
ftpd_use_cifs --> off
ftpd_use_fusefs --> off
ftpd_use_nfs --> off
ftpd_use_passive_mode --> off
httpd_can_connect_ftp --> off
httpd_enable_ftp_server --> off
sftpd_anon_write --> off
sftpd_enable_homedirs --> off
sftpd_full_access --> off
sftpd_write_ssh_home --> off
tftp_anon_write --> off
tftp_home_dir --> off

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set ftp_home_dir to off, if it isn't off.
2. try to connect to home dir as user

Actual results:
User login to ftp server is possible.

Expected results:

Comment 15 Lukas Vrabec 2016-04-26 11:35:21 UTC 
Problem here is this rule: 
[root@rhel7-virt ~]# sesearch -A -s ftpd_t -t user_home_t -C  -c dir | grep -v DT
Found 8 semantic av rules:
   allow userdom_filetrans_type user_home_t : dir { ioctl read write getattr lock add_name remove_name search open } ; 

This rule is part of following macro: 
userdom_filetrans_home_content(ftpd_t)

Unfortunately, userdom_filetrans_home_content() cannot be part of any boolean block and filename transition rule cannot be part of any conditional block. This is caused by limiting m4 macro language. 

I incline to comment4, to remove this boolean.
Comment 17 Dalibor Pospíšil 2016-06-16 12:21:56 UTC 
I'm not really sure if removing that boolean is proper solution. If we cannot fix it properly using m4 will we be able to do it using CIL?
Comment 18 Branislav Náter 2016-07-19 15:57:13 UTC 
ftp access to home dir is disabled by default. To enable it "semanage boolean -m ftpd_full_access --on" instead of "setsebool ftp_home_dir on" have to be run. Please make sure that this is documented.

I have the same issue with tests for basics ftp scenarios in wget test suite.

Not sure if enabling ftpd_full_access is not too "strong" way how to handle it.

Comment 20 Dalibor Pospíšil 2016-07-26 11:02:03 UTC 
I'm also getting similar AVC regarding this issue in vsftpd smoke test.
