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 Jacob Welsh 2015-09-16 16:06:44 UTC
Description of problem:
With rsyncd configured to serve "/" as read-only and the rsync_export_all_ro boolean set, it still gets denials when certain locations such as /etc/audit/ and /etc/selinux/ are accessed:

type=SYSCALL msg=audit(09/16/2015 06:06:34.568:19886) : arch=x86_64 syscall=lstat success=no exit=-13(Permission denied) a0=0x7ffd67cf3140 a1=0x7ffd67cf30b0 a2=0x7ffd67cf30b0 a3=0x0 items=0 ppid=1241 pid=20625 auid=unset uid=root gid=root euid=root suid=root fsuid=root egid=root sgid=root fsgid=root tty=(none) ses=unset comm=rsync exe=/usr/bin/rsync subj=system_u:system_r:rsync_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.13.1-23.el7_1.13

Additional info:

"audit2allow" yields the following rules:

allow rsync_t auditd_etc_t:file getattr;
allow rsync_t default_context_t:file getattr;
allow rsync_t semanage_store_t:file getattr;
allow rsync_t semanage_store_t:lnk_file getattr;

Comment 2 Milos Malik 2015-09-17 07:17:21 UTC
Following boolean allows that kind of access, but it also allows read-write access to all files / directories on the file-system, which might be a security problem:

 * rsync_full_access

# sesearch -s rsync_t -t auditd_etc_t -c file -p getattr -A -C
Found 1 semantic av rules:
DT allow rsync_t non_auth_file_type : file { ioctl read write create getattr setattr lock append unlink link rename open } ; [ rsync_full_access ]

# sesearch -s rsync_t -t default_context_t -c file -p getattr -A -C
Found 1 semantic av rules:
DT allow rsync_t non_auth_file_type : file { ioctl read write create getattr setattr lock append unlink link rename open } ; [ rsync_full_access ]

# sesearch -s rsync_t -t semanage_store_t -c file -p getattr -A -C
Found 2 semantic av rules:
DT allow rsync_t non_auth_file_type : file { ioctl read write create getattr setattr lock append unlink link rename open } ; [ rsync_full_access ]
DT allow rsync_t semanage_store_t : file { ioctl write create getattr lock append open } ; [ rsync_full_access ]

# sesearch -s rsync_t -t semanage_store_t -c lnk_file -p getattr -A -C
Found 1 semantic av rules:
DT allow rsync_t non_auth_file_type : lnk_file { ioctl read write create getattr setattr lock append unlink link rename } ; [ rsync_full_access ]
