Joshua,
are there AVC msgs if you try to reproduce it?

1. reproduce
2. run

# ausearch -m avc,user_avc -ts recent

Thank you.

Sorry for the late response. The denies are not displayed, since they fall under the dontaudit rules. This is how I just reproduced it with a clean install.

Thanks

I'm seeing the same on two CentOS 5 hosts that was just upgraded to CentOS 7.

After a few hours of running:
# sed -n '/open_socket/ s/..*#\([0-9]*\)).*/\1/p' /var/log/messages.1 | sort -u | xargs echo
1935 2605 4321 4444 5546 8554 8610 8611 8612 8613 8614

Disabling the dontaudit rules results in visible AVCs like Joshua has shown.

Yes, we are seeing this too.  RHEL 7.2, current on all patches.  After disabling dontaudit rules with semodule -DB:

ausearch -m avc -ts recent | audit2allow -w

type=AVC msg=audit(1469819571.231:4300): avc:  denied  { name_bind } for  pid=1775 comm="named" src=8613 scontext=system_u:system_r:named_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ipp_port_t:s0 tclass=udp_socket

	Was caused by:
		Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule.


it shows up clearly in named.general log file too:

<root@system:0 /var/log/named>$ grep permission named.general | tail

Is there a suggested work-around... with detailed implementation instructions?

And why is named NOT denied access on so many other ports?  A packet capture shows named is responding out many neighboring ports.  Why are those ports not also blocked by SELinux?

Did not intend for my "needinfo" to be canceled.

(In reply to Doug Wussler from comment #6)

Hi Doug,

 One possible work-around is to specifically identify the ports that BIND is able to use, selecting a range that doesn't conflict with the policies, until the problem is corrected:

options {
        use-v4-udp-ports { range 9000 65535; };
        use-v6-udp-ports { range 9000 65535; };
};

Cheers

pingback to bug 1198917

Joshua, 

It looks that these ports are custom not default defined in /etc/named.conf, in that case it should be fixed by local policy instead of changes in selinux-policy package.

Lukas, these are DEFAULT configurations. The specific port examples are defined to highlight the issue.

I'm seeing this issue too on udp ports 4444 and 5546, with default configuration on RHEL7. The issue only became apparent when switching SELinux from permissive to enforcing.

Is there any way to see a full list of ports named is not allowed to use as listed in the SELinux policy? Looking back through bugzilla this issue seems to have cropped up numerous times over the years. Is there a boolean to allow named to bind all udp ports? I don't see anything obvious.

Phil, 

What is version of selinux-policy package on tested system?

This is a fully updated RHEL7.3 system:

# rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.13.1-102.el7_3.16.noarch

I'm also seeing udp ports 8554 and 8610-8614 blocked too.

If you have an updated selinux-policy package available, I'm happy to help test.

named_t is allowed to name_bind each UDP port mentioned in the description except for 4321:

# seinfo --portcon=4321

# sesearch -s named_t -t whois_port_t -c udp_socket -A -C -D 
Found 6 semantic av rules:

#

The name_bind operation for this port is dontaudit-ed.

Can confirm this is still an issue on all current RHEL/CentOS 7 and Fedora 24/25/26 targeted SELinux policies, despite the claims to the contrary in bug 1103439, bug 1198917, and bug 1272835.
