Description of problem:

When scanning an email, spamassassin triggers the the following selinux alert:

Sep 21 12:50:54 xxxx.private setroubleshoot[18368]: failed to retrieve rpm info for /var/spool/spamassassin/.razor/identity
Sep 21 12:50:54 xxxx.private setroubleshoot[18368]: SELinux is preventing 7370616D64206368696C64 from getattr access on the lnk_file /var/spool/spamassassin/.razor/identity. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 5db50b01-fc3b-430b-828a-b2a561ce3e33
Sep 21 12:50:54 xxxx.private python3[18368]: SELinux is preventing 7370616D64206368696C64 from getattr access on the lnk_file /var/spool/spamassassin/.razor/identity.
                                             
                                             *****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************
                                             
                                             If you believe that 7370616D64206368696C64 should be allowed getattr access on the identity lnk_file 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:
                                             # ausearch -c '7370616D64206368696C64' --raw | audit2allow -M my-7370616D64206368696C64
                                             # semodule -X 300 -i my-7370616D64206368696C64.pp
                                             

However the recommended course of action finds "Nothing to do".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

spamassassin-3.4.1-9.fc24.x86_64


How reproducible:

This occurs on every email processed.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2016-09-25 00:19:43 UTC
Yeah, this is fallout from adding a dep on perl-Razor-Agent... 

Hopefully we can adjust policy to allow this. :) 

Moving to selinux-policy for comment.

Comment 2 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-09-27 15:12:07 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 dan 2016-11-05 00:47:32 UTC
Any way we can move this forward?  I am willing to provide any additional info required.

Comment 4 Lukas Vrabec 2016-11-07 19:32:56 UTC
Dan, 
Could you reproduce this issue and then attach raw AVC msgs? 

Steps: 
1. reproduce issue
2. # ausearch -m AVC,USER_AVC -ts recent 

Thanks.

Exists in FC25.

Comment 8 dan 2016-12-07 13:56:06 UTC
Identity was symlink to actual identity-something file...removed symlink, now working with policy 3.13.1-225.1.
