Description Frediano Ziglio 2017-11-20 14:31:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying spice-server compiled with --enable-statistics Qemu launched by libvirt fails to map a shared memory object.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-3.7.0-2.fc27.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-283.14.fc27.noarch


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
This used reproduced with a custom build of spice-server (master) with --enable-statistics used. Basically the program do in sequence:
- shm_open read/write (shm_open(stat_file->shm_name, O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0444))
- ftruncate to get some space in the file
- mmap call (mmap(NULL, shm_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0))


Actual results:
The error from SELinux is
type=AVC msg=audit(1511118431.984:955): avc:  denied  { map } for  pid=14901 comm="qemu-system-x86" path="/dev/shm/spice.14901" dev="tmpfs" ino=386800 scontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c226,c673 tcontext=system_u:object_r:svirt_tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0


Expected results:
No error.


Additional info:
Talked in IRC with #virt team and asked if was expected and we agreed to open a bug report.
