Description Mikhail 2020-08-01 10:02:50 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing systemd-machine from 'create' accesses on the sock_file io.systemd.Machine.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that systemd-machine should be allowed create access on the io.systemd.Machine sock_file 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 'systemd-machine' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemdmachine
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemdmachine.pp

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2020-08-06 21:58:18 UTC
I think this - and related denials also for io.systemd.Machine, e.g.:

time->Thu Aug  6 14:53:51 2020
type=AVC msg=audit(1596750831.021:20522): avc:  denied  { connectto } for  pid=1152 comm="polkitd" path="/run/systemd/userdb/io.systemd.Machine" scontext=system_u:system_r:policykit_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_machined_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket permissive=1

, are preventing libvirt virtual machines from running and also breaking the systemd-machined service on boot:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/636429#step/base_services_start/15

The former would violate Beta criterion "The release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same release" and the latter would violate Final criterion "All system services present after installation with one of the release-blocking package sets must start properly, unless they require hardware which is not present", so proposing as a Beta blocker with fallback to Final. :)

Shouldn't the tracker depend on this bug, rather than vice versa?

Comment 5 Chris Murphy 2020-08-10 17:13:14 UTC
I can reproduce this:

virt-manager client pops a dialog that says:
Error starting domain: Remote peer disconnected


host journal says:

Comment 7 Geoffrey Marr 2020-08-10 22:23:04 UTC
Discussed during the 2020-08-10 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to delay the classification of this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker" (Beta) and to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker" (Final) was made as it violates the following Final criterion:

"All system services present after installation with one of the release-blocking package sets must start properly..."

We're less sure about whether it breaks virtualization, so we will delay the decision on Beta blocker status to look into that some more.

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker" (Beta) was made as it violates the following Beta criterion:

"The release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same release"

Since both adamw and cmurf have reported being unable to launch VMs with SELinux in enforcing mode, this overrides earlier acceptance as a Final blocker.

Comment 9 Zdenek Pytela 2020-08-11 11:04:44 UTC
I've submitted a Fedora PR to address the issue as reported in this bz and its direct duplicates:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/405

For denials in c#1, I will continue in another bug.

Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2020-08-11 15:32:19 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle.
Changing version to 33.

Comment 11 Zdenek Pytela 2020-08-12 11:56:03 UTC
Given the pull request merged, I suppose this bz should be in POST.

Geoff, you forgot to update the whiteboard, doing that now.

Comment 13 Zdenek Pytela 2020-08-13 12:40:56 UTC
Resolved by this commit:
commit d4a034518393bd1c0277a4dd3e87c8e94b394317
Author: Zdenek Pytela <zpytela>

    Allow systemd-machined create userdbd runtime sock files
    
    Create the systemd_create_userdbd_runtime_sock_files() interface.
    
    Resolves: rhbz#1862686

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2020-08-24 17:18:09 UTC
So this is now in selinux-policy-3.14.6-24.fc33 which is in recent composes. Setting ON_QA. openQA base_services_start is now passing on Rawhide, so the systemd-machined service bug is fixed now. We should check the virtual machine start issue is fixed too before closing this.

Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2020-08-24 23:10:05 UTC
VM start bug seems to be resolved for me too. Closing.
