Description Nils Philippsen 2018-05-27 16:46:46 UTC
Description of problem:
(Re)started cyrus-imapd.
SELinux is preventing master from using the 'dac_override' capabilities.

*****  Plugin dac_override (91.4 confidence) suggests   **********************

If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file with the wrong permissions on your system
Then turn on full auditing to get path information about the offending file and generate the error again.
Do

Turn on full auditing
# auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w
Try to recreate AVC. Then execute
# ausearch -m avc -ts recent
If you see PATH record check ownership/permissions on file, and fix it,
otherwise report as a bugzilla.

*****  Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that master should have the dac_override capability 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 'master' --raw | audit2allow -M my-master
# semodule -X 300 -i my-master.pp

Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2018-05-27 18:38:55 UTC
Hmm, there was even more than this and bug #1582885. After a couple of iterations, here's the local module I used to silence starts and restarts of cyrus-imapd:


module local-cyrus-imapd 1.1;

require {
    type cyrus_t;
    type init_t;
    type cyrus_var_run_t;
    class capability dac_override;
    class file { map open read };
    class dir create;
}

#============= cyrus_t ==============
allow cyrus_t cyrus_var_run_t:dir create;

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow cyrus_t cyrus_var_run_t:file map;

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow cyrus_t init_t:file { open read };

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow cyrus_t self:capability dac_override;
