Stephen,

Is there any observed negative impact to Satellite as a result of this behavior?

Can we tell what process was using sshd that resulted in the denial?

Thanks!

ps - Jake said you can reach out to him, if want ;)

Hello Brad

Its only an irritation from Satellite point of view as the logs get filled up:


[root@dhcp-2-207 ~]# ls -laZ /var/log/lastlog
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:cron_log_t:s0  /var/log/lastlog
[root@dhcp-2-207 ~]# ls -la /var/log/secure
-rw-------. 1 root root 233678 Oct 11 10:30 /var/log/secure
[root@dhcp-2-207 ~]# ls -la /var/log/secur*
-rw-------. 1 root root 233678 Oct 11 10:30 /var/log/secure
-rw-------. 1 root root   2556 Oct  1 16:44 /var/log/secure-20211003
-rw-------. 1 root root  19354 Oct  9 14:02 /var/log/secure-20211010

I believe this is a PAM issue

/var/log/secure:Oct 11 10:24:34 dhcp-2-207 sshd[33476]: pam_lastlog(sshd:session): unable to open /var/log/lastlog: Permission denied


changing component

Thank you

I've just checked in a clean RHEL7.9 VM and the permissions for the lastlog file differ with your system:
$ ls -laZ /var/log/lastlog
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:lastlog_t:s0   /var/log/lastlog

I think that this is happening because your system has cron_log_t. Can you check it? Can you try to change it temporarily (chcon) to lastlog_t and see what happens?

Hello Iker


This is on a system upgraded from Satellite 6.9.6 to Sat6.10
~]# rpm -q satellite
satellite-6.10.0-2.el7sat.noarch
 ~]# ls -laZ /var/log/lastlog
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:lastlog_t:s0 /var/log/lastlog


This is on test install of 6.10
~]# rpm -q satellite
satellite-6.10.0-1.el7sat.noarch
[root@dhcp-3-140 ~]# ls -laZ /var/log/lastlog
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:cron_log_t:s0  /var/log/lastlog

So looks like this is a Satellite 6.10 issue after all, or possibly some issue related to Sat QEs test images and the change of host name. In any case, its a regression and not a RHEL bug then. I will change component back to Satellite.

 ~]# chcon -t lastlog_t /var/log/lastlog
 ~]# ls -laZ /var/log/lastlog
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:lastlog_t:s0   /var/log/lastlog
 ~]# ausearch -m AVC,USER_AVC -ts recent

I will run some tests to see if I get any more issues.

Thank you Iker


Hello @lzap 

Do you have a fresh install of 6.10 there to check or do you need me to do a manual install in Beaker for you?


Thank you

Hi

running change-host-name script does not seem to be the cause.

I then created a new system in SatLab and it is set that way right at system start:

 ~]# ls -laZ /var/log/lastlog 
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:cron_log_t:s0  /var/log/lastlog

but logs do not tell me what set it that way:

~]# grep -r cron_log_t /var/log/
/var/log/audit/audit.log:type=AVC msg=audit(1635168670.155:3410): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=77492 comm="sshd" name="lastlog" dev="vda1" ino=13053789 scontext=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cron_log_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0
/var/log/audit/audit.log:type=AVC msg=audit(1635168738.698:3456): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=77664 comm="sshd" name="lastlog" dev="vda1" ino=13053789 scontext=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cron_log_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=


Anyway, not a product bug, something to do with how our test images are created
