Description Bob Richmond 2020-01-03 04:32:23 UTC
Description of problem:

service strongswan-swanctl start

Fails to read /etc/strongswan/swanctl/*/*.der. Strongswan's certificate loading routine unconditionally calls chunk_map on each certificate, which mmap's the file contents, which selinux denies:

allow ipsec_mgmt_t ipsec_conf_file_t:file { getattr ioctl lock open read };

Adding "map" permission allows strongswan to start correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.4-43.fc31.noarch

How reproducible:

Always
