Description Matt Fagnani 2019-07-09 13:19:39 UTC
Description of problem:
I booted into a F30 KDE Plasma spin installation that was fully updated with updates-testing enabled. I logged into Plasma 5.15.5 from sddm 0.18.1. I ran scap-workbench with the PCI-DSS v3 Control Baseline for Fedora profile. I generated a remediation bash script in scap-workbench which I ran in konsole with sudo. There were two rules about failed logins which hadn't passed. 

Set Deny For Failed Password Attempts
xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_accounts_passwords_pam_faillock_deny
To configure the system to lock out accounts after a number of incorrect login attempts using pam_faillock.so, modify the content of both /etc/pam.d/system-auth and /etc/pam.d/password-auth as follows:
add the following line immediately before the pam_unix.so statement in the AUTH section:
auth required pam_faillock.so preauth silent deny=6 unlock_time=1800 fail_interval=900
add the following line immediately after the pam_unix.so statement in the AUTH section:
auth [default=die] pam_faillock.so authfail deny=6 unlock_time=1800 fail_interval=900
add the following line immediately before the pam_unix.so statement in the ACCOUNT section:
account required pam_faillock.so

Set Lockout Time for Failed Password Attempts
xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_accounts_passwords_pam_faillock_unlock_time
To configure the system to lock out accounts after a number of incorrect login attempts and require an administrator to unlock the account using pam_faillock.so, modify the content of both /etc/pam.d/system-auth and /etc/pam.d/password-auth as follows:
add the following line immediately before the pam_unix.so statement in the AUTH section:
auth required pam_faillock.so preauth silent deny=6 unlock_time=1800 fail_interval=900
add the following line immediately after the pam_unix.so statement in the AUTH section:
auth [default=die] pam_faillock.so authfail deny=6 unlock_time=1800 fail_interval=900
add the following line immediately before the pam_unix.so statement in the ACCOUNT section:
account required pam_faillock.so

The remediation script changed settings about failed logins as described above. I rebooted. I saw a denial of systemd writing to /var/run/faillock each of two times that I logged into Plasma on X from sddm. 
type=AVC msg=audit(1561266957.146:283): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=1171 comm="(systemd)" name="faillock" dev="tmpfs" ino=26855 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:faillog_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0

The first time the Plasma didn't seem to finish loading properly as it was stuck on the splash screen. After I shutdown the system, I logged into Plasma which started fine but with the same denial. 

I ran the following to allow the denial of systemd writing to faillock from VT2
sudo ausearch -c '(systemd)' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemd
sudo semodule -X 300 -i my-systemd.pp
sudo systemctl restart sddm
I logged into Plasma on X from sddm which froze again. sudo ausearch -m AVC -ts today showed the following denial
type=AVC msg=audit(1561271692.725:495): avc:  denied  { add_name } for  pid=4243 comm="(systemd)" name="sddm" scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:faillog_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0

I repeated the steps above twice, and each time Plasma on X got stuck on the splash screen. The following two denials were shown.
type=AVC msg=audit(1561271929.865:547): avc:  denied  { create } for  pid=4680 comm="(systemd)" name="sddm" scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:faillog_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0
type=AVC msg=audit(1561272064.759:593): avc:  denied  { setattr } for  pid=4973 comm="(systemd)" name="sddm" dev="tmpfs" ino=86576 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:faillog_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

The xembedsniproxy segmentation faults happened each time I repeated the steps above in VT2 and then logged into Plasma on X which was stuck on the splash screen. The segmentation fault in FdoSelectionManager initEv of
of xembedsniproxy seemed to happen because the Plasma program it was waiting on didn't respond which led to a null pointer dereference if I remember correctly.

I didn't see more denials after that. The my-systemd.te module had the following rules.
allow init_t faillog_t:dir { add_name write };
allow init_t faillog_t:file { create setattr };

I reported the systemd denials at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1723132

Comment 13 Ben Cotton 2020-04-30 20:58:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '30'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 30 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 14 Ben Cotton 2020-05-26 17:26:56 UTC
Fedora 30 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-05-26. Fedora 30 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
