Description Beniamino Galvani 2018-11-20 13:52:45 UTC
On F29 NetworkManager implements a new code for IPv4 address conflict detection (RFC 5227) based on n-acd [1], which uses eBPF to process ARP packets from the network. Currently the SELinux policy forbids this, resulting in the following denials when a connection is activated:

 Nov 20 14:44:23 fd audit[678]: AVC avc:  denied  { map_create } for  pid=678 comm="NetworkManager" scontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tclass=bpf permissive=1
 Nov 20 14:44:23 fd audit[678]: AVC avc:  denied  { map_read map_write } for  pid=678 comm="NetworkManager" scontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tclass=bpf permissive=1
 Nov 20 14:44:23 fd audit[678]: AVC avc:  denied  { prog_load } for  pid=678 comm="NetworkManager" scontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tclass=bpf permissive=1
 Nov 20 14:44:23 fd audit[678]: AVC avc:  denied  { prog_run } for  pid=678 comm="NetworkManager" scontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tclass=bpf permissive=1

Please add rules to the policy so that NM is allowed to perform such calls.

Comment 1 Beniamino Galvani 2018-12-13 13:21:25 UTC
Ping, any news on this? Those denials prevent ARP announcements on the local network and the proper detection of duplicate IP addresses.

    Adding SELinux allow rules to allow activated connections with SELinux
    in enforcing.
