Description Devan Goodwin 2009-05-01 21:49:29 UTC
Description of problem:

After installation of Sat 530 ISO, httpd will not run due to an selinux denial.

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

Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090501.1-i386-embedded-oracle.iso

How reproducible:

Suspect 100%.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Satellite.
  
Actual results:

Error about tomcat not being running, in fact it's httpd that's not running with this error in error_log:

[Fri May 01 17:28:07 2009] [error] (13)Permission denied: mod_rewrite: could not start RewriteMap program /etc/rhn/satellite-httpd/conf/satidmap.pl


Expected results:

httpd runs. :)


Additional info:

Verified quickly that this is selinux related by doing setenforce 0, service httpd restart (comes up fine). Error does also appear in audit.log when enforcing.

Comment 1 Jan Pazdziora 2009-05-04 13:08:16 UTC
What is the error in audit.log?

I wonder if the whole SELinux setup is broken because of bug 498685 -- the SELinux modules were not loaded properly at all?

Comment 2 Devan Goodwin 2009-05-04 16:10:04 UTC
From audit.log:

type=AVC msg=audit(1241380980.842:257): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=14495 comm="httpd" name="satidmap.pl" dev=hda3 ino=7032978 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file

Think it's related to the bad selinux rpm versions?

Yes. The correct type is

# ls -laZ /etc/rhn/satellite-httpd/conf/satidmap.pl
-rwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t /etc/rhn/satellite-httpd/conf/satidmap.pl

The issue will be fixed once we have new ISO with new oracle-nofcontext-selinux. That is tracked in bug 498685. We can probably make it a dupe of that one. Or keep it open to go throught the whole QA process. Alternatively you can retest and confirm that the problem is gone once the new ISO is out.

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora 2009-05-11 11:55:30 UTC
Package oracle-nofcontext-selinux-0.1-23.8.1.el5sat.noarch.rpm with the fix is
on the Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090507.1 ISO, moving ON_QA.

Comment 5 wes hayutin 2009-05-11 16:56:04 UTC
verified 5/7.1 build

Comment 6 Marcus Moeller 2009-07-21 12:22:12 UTC
Still valid in Spacewalk with oracle-nofcontext-selinux-0.1-23.9.el5.noarch.

Best Regards
Marcus
