Description of problem: I added a vpn and it crashed when I tried to connect (via the menu in the top right corner in gnome 3) SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sstpc from 'name_connect' accesses on the tcp_socket . ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow nis to enabled Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'nis_enabled' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P nis_enabled 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that sstpc should be allowed name_connect access on the tcp_socket 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 sstpc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:http_port_t:s0 Target Objects [ tcp_socket ] Source sstpc Source Path /usr/sbin/sstpc Port 443 Host (removed) Source RPM Packages sstp-client-1.0.9-4.fc20.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-179.fc20.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.15.7-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 28 18:50:26 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2014-08-12 00:36:17 CEST Last Seen 2014-08-12 00:36:17 CEST Local ID d200c640-9c4c-4da4-bb3d-607996240657 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1407796577.102:1161): avc: denied { name_connect } for pid=10210 comm="sstpc" dest=443 scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:http_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1407796577.102:1161): arch=x86_64 syscall=connect success=no exit=EACCES a0=8 a1=7f59fca5d408 a2=10 a3=7fff2600a97c items=0 ppid=10208 pid=10210 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=sstpc exe=/usr/sbin/sstpc subj=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: sstpc,pppd_t,http_port_t,tcp_socket,name_connect Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.2.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.15.7-200.fc20.x86_64 type: libreport
Currently we do not allow pppd_t to connect to apache ports. We do allow pptp to do this? http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/45/idpl/17966590/numer/8/nazwa/sstpc Indicates this is expected behaviour so I guess we need to allow it.
