Description Miroslav Lichvar 2020-08-26 08:42:22 UTC
Description of problem:
The latest chrony package supports NTS, which uses TCP port 4460 for the NTS key establishment (NTS-KE), and it also has reworked loading of NTP servers from DHCP using files in /run/chrony-dhcp.

I'm seeing the following in the audit log:

type=AVC msg=audit(1598430902.278:277): avc:  denied  { name_bind } for  pid=1380 comm="chronyd" src=4460 scontext=system_u:system_r:chronyd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unreserved_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=1

Comment 1 Zdenek Pytela 2020-09-21 11:31:47 UTC
I haven't found IANA port assignment so I suppose the name will be nts-ke. It also looks only tcp is used.

I've submitted a Fedora PR to create the new port label:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/438

Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2020-09-21 11:38:16 UTC
The service is called "ntske"

I made some pull requests for the NTS-KE part:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/437
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy-contrib/pull/335

Please feel free to ignore/close, or modify as needed.

Comment 6 Miroslav Lichvar 2020-10-01 11:18:30 UTC
The NTS-KE fixes seem to be good. Thanks.

The DHCP-related AVCs are still there:

type=AVC msg=audit(1601548430.312:130): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=470 comm="chronyd" name="enp0s3.sources" dev="tmpfs" ino=22040 scontext=system_u:system_r:chronyd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2020-10-02 00:35:09 UTC
FEDORA-2020-a1e9ff2c00 has been pushed to the Fedora 33 stable repository.
If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 8 Zdenek Pytela 2020-10-02 06:59:57 UTC
The remaining AVCs will be resolved in bz#1880948 - now the runtime files also have the initrc_var_run_t type, different to the original one reported.
