Description of problem: Periodically after installation of Fedora 21, alerted via SELinux Alert Browser / Troubleshooter SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/mysqld from 'name_connect' accesses on the tcp_socket port 443. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (47.5 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow system to run with NIS 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_boolean (47.5 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow mysqld to connect to all ports Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'mysql_connect_any' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P mysql_connect_any 1 ***** Plugin catchall (6.38 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that mysqld should be allowed name_connect access on the port 443 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 mysqld /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:http_port_t:s0 Target Objects port 443 [ tcp_socket ] Source mysqld Source Path /usr/libexec/mysqld Port 443 Host (removed) Source RPM Packages mariadb-server-10.0.20-1.fc21.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-105.13.fc21.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.0.7-200.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 29 22:11:52 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 5 First Seen 2015-07-13 14:33:08 AEST Last Seen 2015-07-13 14:36:09 AEST Local ID 9cd03940-e6ad-447e-a2d7-b0ba8f59d31a Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1436762169.508:50918): avc: denied { name_connect } for pid=14711 comm="mysqld" dest=443 scontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:http_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1436762169.508:50918): arch=x86_64 syscall=connect success=no exit=EACCES a0=0 a1=7f25a40527f0 a2=1c a3=10 items=0 ppid=14544 pid=14711 auid=4294967295 uid=27 gid=27 euid=27 suid=27 fsuid=27 egid=27 sgid=27 fsgid=27 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=mysqld exe=/usr/libexec/mysqld subj=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: mysqld,mysqld_t,http_port_t,tcp_socket,name_connect Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-105.13.fc21.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.3.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.0.7-200.fc21.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1235852
