Description Tim Waugh 2007-04-11 13:30:30 UTC
Description of problem:
/usr/lib/cups/notifier/mailto needs to be able to execute sendmail.  Here is the
AVC I get:

avc: denied { execute } for comm="mailto" dev=hda1 egid=7 euid=4
exe="/usr/lib/cups/notifier/mailto" exit=-13 fsgid=7 fsuid=4 gid=7 items=0
name="sendmail.sendmail" pid=14794
scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 sgid=7
subj=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 suid=4 tclass=file
tcontext=system_u:object_r:sendmail_exec_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=4

The mailto program runs as a separate process from CUPS (it gets executed by
cupsd), and perhaps needs a separate label (cups_mail_t?) such that mailto can
execute sendmail, and cupsd can execute mailto, but cupsd cannot execute
sendmail directly.  What do you think?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-1.2.10-3.fc6
selinux-policy-2.4.6-54.fc6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Stop CUPS
2. Make a file /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf:
NextSubscriptionId 9
<Subscription 8>
Events all
Owner root
Recipient mailto:root@localhost
LeaseDuration 86400
Interval 0
ExpirationTime 1176383781
NextEventId 2
</Subscription>
3.Start CUPS
4.lp /etc/fstab

Actual results:
AVC message

Expected results:
Email

I don't see much value in that, versus just allowing cupsd to transition to
sendmail.

Added in selinux-policy-2.4.6-55.fc6

Fix confirmed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-57.fc6.  Thanks.
