Description ericm24x7 2007-05-10 17:34:30 UTC
Description of problem:
I have the following symbolic link directory:
/var/www/html/a -> /a

I'm getting avc denial with the following raw audit messages:
avc: denied { getattr } for comm="httpd" dev=sda6 egid=48 euid=48
exe="/usr/sbin/httpd" exit=-13 fsgid=48 fsuid=48 gid=48 items=0 name="/"
path="/a" pid=3809 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 sgid=48
subj=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 suid=48 tclass=dir
tcontext=system_u:object_r:rsync_data_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=48

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.2.4-3
selinux-policy-2.6.1-1.fc7

How reproducible:
persistent

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install httpd.x86_64
2. ln -s /var/www/html/a /a
3. From remote client, bring up firefox and access /a directory
   # assumed /a has populated sub-directories read access enabled
    http://192.168.3.103/a

Actual results:
All sub-directories and files /a is invisible

Attached is the output file of selinux troubleshooter.

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2007-05-25 13:15:12 UTC
This looks like an expected policy violation - the target directory is not
labelled such that httpd can read it.  See "man httpd_selinux" - the /a
directory needs to be labelled with httpd_sys_content_t or similar; please mail
fedora-selinux for further help.
