Description Paul Black 2004-11-10 12:36:31 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
When I compose and send an email with squirrelmail, the following is
logged by syslog and the email doesn't get sent:
Nov 10 12:33:04 zippy kernel: audit(1100089984.840:0): avc:  denied  {
read } for  pid=4099 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=sh dev=dm-0 ino=360497
scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t
tclass=lnk_file

A copy of the email is stored in the sent folder (through dovecot).

Turn off SELinux and it works.

SELinux is in targeted mode.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.19

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose and send an email with squirrelmail

    

Actual Results:  Email is not sent and above message appears in log files.


Expected Results:  Email should be sent (sendmail should log this).

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2004-11-10 13:04:44 UTC
Added a fix for this in selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.21

Currently available on 

ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/FC3

This is a yum repository where I will be putting up update for FC3 policy.

Will be in update 1.

ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/Fedora/

Has the stuff that will be going into FC4, but should work with FC3
(more experimental though)

Comment 2 Paul Black 2004-11-10 13:26:42 UTC
Created attachment 106408 [details]
Log messages for errors

It's done a bit more with the change.

Comment 3 Paul Black 2004-11-10 13:30:05 UTC
Created attachment 106409 [details]
More log messages

This is with enforcing turned off so as to get the full list.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2004-11-10 15:00:31 UTC
Ok looks like we need policy for squirrelmail, so You probably should
run with Apache Transitioning off, for now.  I will try to get some
policy to support squirrelmail.  (Never used it before.)

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2004-11-17 21:30:12 UTC
selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.30 supports squirrelmail

Comment 6 Paul Black 2004-11-22 09:15:25 UTC
It seems to work (bit hard to tell when there's no output!).
system-config-securitylevel tells me that httpd transitioning isn't
disabled and that selinux is enforcing the targetted policy.

Cheers.

Ok, I installed the rpm :
ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/FC3/selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.33.noarch.rpm


And when I try to send mail with my PHP script, here what it output in
my dmesg :


Nov 22 10:34:54 portable kernel: audit(1101137694.990:0): avc:  denied

scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:sbin_t tclass=file



I cannot send mail with my script. But, my php script simply use the
mail() command...

PS: the new package fix my mysql problem!

Comment 8 Jean-Francois Saucier 2004-11-22 15:35:29 UTC
Excuse the second message but I'm not using squirrelmail but a custom
script I write myself. 

Am I better opening a new bug entry?

Comment 9 Jean-Francois Saucier 2004-11-22 15:42:30 UTC
Some more info :

root@portable ~ # ps auxZ | grep sendmail

Seems the same problem as mysqld not running with the good context.

Sendmail must running with which context?
