Latest Nagios 4.2.4 broken under SELinux
Last modified: 2018-04-10 08:29:13 EDT
Description of problem: After upgrading to the latest Nagios package available, 4.2.4, the web frontend no longer works with SELinux enabled. I get the following on audit.log type=AVC msg=audit(1488265620.009:2548): avc: denied { read } for pid=27346 comm="tac.cgi" name="objects.cache" dev="vda3" ino=33626409 scontext=system_u:system_r:nagios_script_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nagios_spool_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1488265620.009:2548): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7f2237600430 a1=0 a2=7f2237600210 a3=4 items=0 ppid=26820 pid=27346 auid=4294967295 uid=48 gid=48 euid=48 suid=48 fsuid=48 egid=48 sgid=48 fsgid=48 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="tac.cgi" exe="/usr/lib64/nagios/cgi-bin/tac.cgi" subj=system_u:system_r:nagios_script_t:s0 key=(null) This might be due to some paths in nagios.cfg changing from /var/log/nagios to /var/spool/nagios, I think. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run nagios with SELinux enabled 2. Go to the UI Actual results: UI doesn't work Expected results: UI works
