Description of problem: The default installation of Satellite 5.3.0 adds /usr/bin/rhn-ssl-dbstore to alias INSTALL_RHN in /etc/sudoers. I've grepped Spacewalk source and /usr/bin/rhn-ssl-dbstore appears to be called in two places -- in spacewalk/setup/bin/spacewalk-setup, and in web/modules/rhn/RHN/SatInstall.pm. That spacewalk-setup is being used by root, so no sudo is needed (and called) there. That RHN::SatInstall calls sub store_ssl_cert { my $class = shift; my %params = validate(@_, { ssl_dir => 1, ca_cert => { default => DEFAULT_CA_CERT_NAME }, }); my $cert_path = File::Spec->catfile($params{ssl_dir}, $params{ca_cert}); my @opts = ("--ca-cert=${cert_path}"); my $ret = system('/usr/bin/sudo', '/usr/bin/rhn-ssl-dbstore', @opts); my %retcodes = ( 10 => 'CA certificate not found', 11 => 'DB initialization failure', 12 => 'No Organization ID', 13 => 'Could not insert the certificate', ); if ($ret) { my $exit_code = $? >> 8; throw "(satinstall:ssl_cert_import_failed) $retcodes{$exit_code}" if exists $retcodes{$exit_code}; throw "There was a problem validating the satellite certificate: $exit_code"; } return; } But the function store_ssl_cert is not used in the whole Spacewalk codebase except that bin/spacewalk-setup, and that script defines its own function. Therefore I assume it is dead code which can be removed, and so can /usr/bin/rhn-ssl-dbstore from /etc/sudoers. Note: I did this scan through our code to figure out if there are some commands that need additional SELinux treatment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090206.1 How reproducible: Deterministic. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Satellite 5.3.0. 2. Look into /etc/sudoers. Actual results: /usr/bin/rhn-ssl-dbstore is there. Expected results: /usr/bin/rhn-ssl-dbstore is not there and Satellite continues to work OK. Additional info: This bug was modeled based on bug 484705.
Reassigning to myself as the bugzillas are not tracked against the SELinux feature.
