Description François Rigault 2023-04-04 18:34:19 UTC
Description of problem:
added an nfs share to expose a folder under /tmp. It works well but stat -f fails on the mount:
stat: cannot read file system information for '/mnt/nfs': Input/output error
and an AVC is logged

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-38.9-1.fc39.noarch

How reproducible:
all the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. define an nfs export
/tmp/todel 127.0.0.1(rw,all_squash,anonuid=12345,anongid=12346,sec=sys)
2. mount it
mount 127.0.0.1:/tmp/todel /mnt/nfs  -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 -o sec=sys 
3. access it with stat -f:
$ stat -f /mnt/nfs
stat: cannot read file system information for '/mnt/nfs': Input/output error
also from podman
$ podman run -v /mnt/nfs:/nas --rm -ti registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:37 bash
Error: statfs /mnt/nfs: input/output error


Actual results:
# ausearch -m AVC -ts  recent | audit2why
type=AVC msg=audit(1680632459.060:1061): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=1635 comm="nfsd" name="/" dev="tmpfs" ino=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=filesystem permissive=0

        Was caused by:
                Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule.

                You can use audit2allow to generate a loadable module to allow this access.


Expected results:
should work I think

Additional info:
# sesearch -A -s kernel_t -c filesystem
allow domain proc_t:filesystem getattr;
allow domain security_t:filesystem getattr;
allow domain sysfs_t:filesystem getattr;
allow kernel_t filesystem_type:filesystem { mount unmount };
allow kernel_t fs_t:filesystem getattr;
allow kernel_t noxattrfs:filesystem getattr; [ nfs_export_all_ro ]:True
allow kernel_t noxattrfs:filesystem getattr; [ nfs_export_all_rw ]:True


# seinfo -t tmpfs_t -x

Types: 1
   type tmpfs_t alias ramfs_t, file_type, filesystem_type, mountpoint, non_auth_file_type, non_security_file_type, polyparent;
# seinfo -t fs_t -x

Types: 1
   type fs_t alias { cephfs_t vxfs_t inotifyfs_t }, filesystem_type;


I don't understand why it fails for a tmpfs_t folder, but works for non tmpfs_t folder.
