Description Sasha Smolyak 2019-07-08 15:30:26 UTC
Description of problem:
When checking audit.log on compute node, got several "denied" lines:
1. Setup with 2 overclouds, without additional ceph, 1 controller, 1 compute on each overcloud, rebooted compute node:

Comment 1 Cédric Jeanneret 2019-07-09 05:47:28 UTC
So, I think we can already push some of the AVC to other projects:

type=AVC msg=audit(1562468761.649:33825): avc:  denied  { dac_override } for  pid=558318 comm="tmpwatch" capability=1  scontext=system_u:system_r:tmpreaper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:tmpreaper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability permissive=0

That's for tmpwatch - although the issue itself will be sorted out by a selinux ruleset


type=AVC msg=audit(1562587479.922:49211): avc:  denied  { connectto } for  pid=828775 comm="plymouth" path=002F6F72672F667265656465736B746F702F706C796D6F75746864 scontext=system_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:plymouthd_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket permissive=0

That's for plymouth - although, here again, the issue itself will probably be sorted out by a selinux ruleset. On might ask "why plymouth on a server" though...... "Graphical Boot Animation and Logger"


type=AVC msg=audit(1562587793.241:215): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=8208 comm="systemd-user-ru" name="libpod" dev="tmpfs" ino=73106 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:container_runtime_tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0
type=AVC msg=audit(1562587793.241:216): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=8208 comm="systemd-user-ru" name="overlay-containers" dev="tmpfs" ino=73105 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:container_runtime_tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0
type=AVC msg=audit(1562587793.241:217): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=8208 comm="systemd-user-ru" name="overlay-layers" dev="tmpfs" ino=73104 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:container_runtime_tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0

That's probably for podman/libpod/runc, and, if legit accesses, will lead to a new rulset in container-selinux

type=AVC msg=audit(1562508548.724:40): avc:  denied  { execute_no_trans } for  pid=1212 comm="modprobe" path="/usr/bin/bash" dev="vda2" ino=4215568 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_load_module_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1

There, no idea for now, need some investigations.


type=AVC msg=audit(1562508551.990:82): avc:  denied  { sendto } for  pid=877 comm="chronyd" path="/run/chrony/chronyc.2725.sock" scontext=system_u:system_r:chronyd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:cloud_init_t:s0 tclass=unix_dgram_socket permissive=1

Probably due to some file created during bootstrap with cloudinit, needs some investigations


Finally, the logrotate will need an addition to openstack-selinux, I'll take care of that one now.


I'll push the SELinux issues related to podman on their github - care to push the others to the right components and link back the BZ here so that we can have a fine status?

Do you have an accessible env so that I can test the generated selinux rules in order to ensure it covers all?

Cheers,

C.

Comment 2 Cédric Jeanneret 2019-07-10 06:19:46 UTC
Just pushed a change that will get rid of the logrotate AVCs. Some details:
- it's the *host* logrotate, not the containerized one
- apparently we have a bunch of logs written with the container_file_t context outside of /var/log/containers
- using a simple SELinux boolean allows to correct that AVC, making the whole thing far, far easier to manage
- imho we shouldn't push logrotate in a container, since it's installed by default on the nodes.... But that's another question/issue ;)

Comment 3 Julie Pichon 2019-07-10 09:02:58 UTC
It looks like a couple of the AVCs moved to bug 1728196 may be relevant here after all:

- The modprobe denial references openvswitch / openvswitch_load_module_t

type=AVC msg=audit(1562508548.724:40): avc:  denied  { execute_no_trans } for  pid=1212 comm="modprobe" path="/usr/bin/bash" dev="vda2" ino=4215568 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_load_module_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1

- The tmpwatch denial references /var/log/containers (cf. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1728196#c3 )

Comment 4 Marius Cornea 2019-09-04 11:40:52 UTC
With latest compose it looks like we still have a denial for openvswitch:

Comment 5 Cédric Jeanneret 2019-09-04 12:41:21 UTC
So https://github.com/redhat-openstack/openstack-selinux/pull/42 should sort this issue.

Comment 6 Julie Pichon 2019-09-04 14:21:32 UTC
Adding build info that should fix the logrotate issues. If there are other types of denials causing problems, please file separate bugs for them. Thank you.
