Description of problem: Drupal attempted to write to /tmp and selinux stopped it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): As installed with FC7 How reproducible: Messy. Install Drupal. Try to set up a page with an image. Steps to Reproduce: 1.http://localhost/?q=admin/build/themes/settings/chameleon 2.Enter an image location 3. Read the results. user warning: Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sql_1796_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13) query: SELECT DISTINCT b.* FROM blocks b LEFT JOIN blocks_roles r ON b.module = r.module AND b.delta = r.delta WHERE b.theme = 'chameleon' AND b.status = 1 AND (r.rid IN (2) OR r.rid IS NULL) ORDER BY b.region, b.weight, b.module in /var/www/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172. Actual results: Selinux reports SummarySELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/mysqld (mysqld_t) "search" to tmp (httpd_sys_script_rw_t).Detailed DescriptionSELinux denied access requested by /usr/libexec/mysqld. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/libexec/mysqld and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.Allowing AccessSometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for tmp, restorecon -v tmp If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report against this package. Expected results: Additional info:
I have no idea what drupal is. But this looks like you have mysql tring to read a tmp directory labeled httpd_sys_script_rw_t? /tmp should never be labeled httpd_sys_script_rw_t?
It isn't. That's the selinux context.
You have a denial of mysqld_t searching a tmp directory labeled httpd_sys_script_rw_t. This is bad labeling. I don't know what you mean by that's the selinux context. I know it is. I believe someone has used chcon -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t on a directory named "tmp" mysql is trying to search this directory and expects it to be labeled tmp_t.
Yes, it was me. I sought and failed to find better documentation on selinux for setting contexts. Only stuff I found was marked FC5. I lost xfs for the same reason. I re-installed FC7 to clear it up. Even that reports violations on a default install! Now running selinux on 'tell me' mode. Waste of space currently and bloody annoying. Clear this bug if you wish. regards
If you are yum updated to latest fc7 policy and labeling is correct, you should not see avc messages. If you do please send me the /var/log/audit/audit.log.
