Description of problem: SELinux is preventing check from 'mmap_zero' accesses on the memprotect labeled spc_t. ***** Plugin mmap_zero (53.1 confidence) suggests ************************* If you do not think check should need to mmap low memory in the kernel. Then you may be under attack by a hacker, this is a very dangerous access. Do contact your security administrator and report this issue. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow mmap to low allowed Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'mmap_low_allowed' boolean. Do setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1 ***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that check should be allowed mmap_zero access on memprotect labeled spc_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 'check' --raw | audit2allow -M my-check # semodule -X 300 -i my-check.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:spc_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:spc_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ memprotect ] Source check Source Path check Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-36.17-1.fc36.noarch Local Policy RPM container-selinux-2.199.0-1.fc36.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 6.1.10-100.fc36.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Feb 6 19:58:39 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 60 First Seen 2023-02-12 09:43:39 CET Last Seen 2023-02-12 09:43:39 CET Local ID 86fa66c1-d2f6-4455-96ba-649a2f1fe0d9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1676191419.548:1027): avc: denied { mmap_zero } for pid=7399 comm="check" scontext=system_u:system_r:spc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:spc_t:s0 tclass=memprotect permissive=0 Hash: check,spc_t,spc_t,memprotect,mmap_zero Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-36.17-1.fc36.noarch Additional info: component: container-selinux reporter: libreport-2.17.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 6.1.10-100.fc36.x86_64 type: libreport
mmap_zero is a dangerous Access. If you want to allow this then turn on the boolean. Most likely you are running a badly designed application in a container. Or perhaps WINE? ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow mmap to low allowed Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'mmap_low_allowed' boolean. Do setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
I don't want to allow it but I got it yesterday and I could not find which application fired this up. I did not use WINE and neither any container. That's why I reported this bug. Hmm I will dig deeper to see where it could come from...
