Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2004-12-28 17:21:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
suexec cgi scripts cannot access the home directory, regardless of
httpd_enable_homedirs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.17.30-2.58

The following clause should probably go into the apache_macros.te file:

if (httpd_enable_homedirs) {
allow httpd_suexec_t user_home_dir_t:dir { getattr search };
}
Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2005-01-03 20:03:59 UTC 
Added in selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.65.src.rpm
Comment 2 Frank Ch. Eigler 2005-03-27 15:52:33 UTC 
As of version selinux-policy-targeted-sources-1.17.30-2.90
the user_home_dir_t part is still not included in the apache_macros.te file.
The script_rw_t / script_ro_t tags don't seem to include enough.

FWIW, the suexec-invoked program in question is a perl script named index.cgi,
using lots of r/w state right in the public_html directory.  This directory
is entirely tagged with httpd_user_content_t.
