+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1162811 +++ Description of problem: After disabling the 'unconfined' module, the rule $ sesearch -A -C -s system_dbusd_t -p execute -t bin_t Found 1 semantic av rules: allow system_dbusd_t bin_t : file { read getattr execute open } ; disappears. Setroubleshootd failed to be activated after that, generating the AVC: ----- type=AVC msg=audit(1415725718.861:15433): avc: denied { execute } for pid=31406 comm="dbus-daemon-lau" name="python2.7" dev="vda" ino=803242 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 ----- The activation is retried again and again, locking the cpu and filling the audit log with the same denial message. This did not occur in fedora 19, where the rule was present independantly of the 'unconfined' module. selinux-policy version: 3.13.1-92 --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-13 08:58:25 EST --- I have found a solution: to build a binary version of setroubleshootd, using cython. I wonder how to compare its performance with the python script. Does anybody have an idea? I am attaching the patch & files. Note that the files are mainly a proof of concept: the binary built is currently working as a replacement of the daemon, but I have only implemented one option (-f). It was written 'in haste', so there is still work to do. Version used: setroubleshoot-3.2.20-3 --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-13 09:01:50 EST --- Fix cython compilation errors: - replace tabs by spaces; - remove unreechable part; - remove never-defined functions & variables un uuid.py --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-13 09:03:07 EST --- Hasty conversion of the scrypt into a cython module. --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-13 09:04:21 EST --- Hasty written c code to launch the daemon. --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-13 09:09:41 EST --- The makefile used to build the binary daemon. To build: - apply the patch; - copy the .c, .pyx files & Makefile in the setroubleshoot directory; - run 'make setroubleshootd_c' To test: - copy the binary setroubleshootd_c in /usr/sbin/ - chcon -v --reference /usr/sbin/setroubleshootd{,_c} - modify /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.fedoraproject.Setroubleshootd.service to use the binary daemon; - reboot --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-13 12:59:45 EST --- I finally found how to pass argv to the cython module. Now, the binary daemon should be a perfect candidate as a replacement of the script daemon. The makefile & cython module should be revised, though. --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-13 13:03:17 EST --- The corresponding module. --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-13 16:00:40 EST --- Actually, only the c code & cython module have to be compiled to build the binary: it loads the python modules at runtime. I though that they could be compiled and embeded, but strace shows it is not the case. So, there are probably no gain in performance: it just fixes the current bug. --- Additional comment from Alphonse Steiner on 2014-11-15 09:40:50 EST --- In the end I cannot find a way to embed the python files. So, this bug can be solved using only the attached .c file and .pyx cython module, to build a binary version of setroubleshootd using this Makefile. The gain in performance is probably only at startup (around twice time faster). Here some time comparison between the script and the stripped binary version: $ time setroubleshootd -h real: ~0.380s $ time setroubleshootd_c -h real: ~0.200s --- Additional comment from Miroslav Grepl on 2014-11-19 09:23:47 EST --- (In reply to Alphonse Steiner from comment #0) > Description of problem: > After disabling the 'unconfined' module, the rule > $ sesearch -A -C -s system_dbusd_t -p execute -t bin_t > Found 1 semantic av rules: > allow system_dbusd_t bin_t : file { read getattr execute open } ; > disappears. > Setroubleshootd failed to be activated after that, generating the AVC: > ----- > type=AVC msg=audit(1415725718.861:15433): avc: denied { execute } for > pid=31406 comm="dbus-daemon-lau" name="python2.7" dev="vda" ino=803242 > scontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 > tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 > ----- > > The activation is retried again and again, locking the cpu and filling the > audit log with the same denial message. > > This did not occur in fedora 19, where the rule was present independantly of > the 'unconfined' module. > > selinux-policy version: 3.13.1-92 Nice catch. This is caused by commit 13e05612c9d08eb4a7a791965b2f6733c27deb10 Author: Miroslav Grepl <mgrepl> Date: Thu Sep 18 16:06:07 2014 +0200 We want to have also unconfined D-bus services running as unconfined_service_t instead of initrc_t.
The point is we want to have system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 8823 ? 00:00:00 unconfined_dbus_service for unconfined dbus service if unconfined.pp is disabled and have system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 10605 ? 00:00:00 unconfined_dbus_service if unconfined.pp is enabled.
commit c0c6b7d012b4dc271aee472632367e386644976a Author: Miroslav Grepl <mgrepl> Date: Wed Nov 19 15:47:53 2014 +0100 Allow systemd_dbus_t to execute bin_t in the caller domain if unconfined.pp is disabled to have unconfined dbus service running as system_dbusd_t.
