Description of problem: Installed snort from The CERT Linux Forensics Tools Repository - LiFTeR https://forensics.cert.org/ SELinux is preventing snort from 'create' accesses on the netlink_generic_socket labeled snort_t. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that snort should be allowed create access on netlink_generic_socket labeled snort_t 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 'snort' --raw | audit2allow -M my-snort # semodule -X 300 -i my-snort.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:snort_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:snort_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ netlink_generic_socket ] Source snort Source Path snort Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-34.15-1.fc34.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-34.15-1.fc34.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 5.13.9-200.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Aug 8 14:34:00 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 3 First Seen 2021-08-15 11:45:29 EDT Last Seen 2021-08-15 11:45:29 EDT Local ID ed375922-1c5e-4d83-9cf1-25e66e8c7380 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1629042329.297:258): avc: denied { create } for pid=1777 comm="snort" scontext=system_u:system_r:snort_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:snort_t:s0 tclass=netlink_generic_socket permissive=0 Hash: snort,snort_t,snort_t,netlink_generic_socket,create Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-34.15-1.fc34.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.15.2 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.13.9-200.fc34.x86_64 type: libreport
