Description of problem:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing upsstats.cgi (httpd_sys_script_t) "create" to <Unknown>
(httpd_sys_script_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by upsstats.cgi. It is not expected that this
access is required by upsstats.cgi 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 Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Summary: Network UPS Tools


How reproducible:
Consistent.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  yum install nut-cgi
2.  Configure for APC SmartUPS 1000NET (apcsmart) although the exact UPS should
not matter.  /etc/init.d/ups start and /etc/init.d/httpd start must succeed.
3.  Firefox URL: http://localhost/nut-cgi-bin/upsstats.cgi (or where ever you
ended up installing the nut cgi binaries).
4.  You will see the error and a popup about selinux blocking access.
5.  echo 0 > /selinux/enforce and you can reload the cgi and it will work.
  
Actual results:
[error: socket failure: Permission denied]
and selinux AVC denial pop-up

Expected results:
SMART-UPS 1000 	ON BATTERY 	024.0 % 	000.0 	119.6 	000.0 % 	036.9 °C 	00:26:00
