Description Mike Hanby 2009-11-20 21:00:03 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk "getattr" access on
/dev/sdb1.

Detailed Description:

[check_disk has a permissive type (nrpe_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by check_disk. It is not expected that this
access is required by check_disk 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) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Mike Hanby 2009-11-20 21:35:37 UTC
This is using the Nagios plugin from the official Fedora 12 repo:
nagios-plugins-disk-1.4.13-17.fc12.x86_64

The plugin works with SELinux in permissive mode, as you might expect.

Comment 2 Mike Hanby 2009-11-20 21:37:14 UTC
Some additional rpm versions that might be helpful:

nrpe-2.12-11.fc12.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.32-41.fc12.noarch
selinux-policy-3.6.32-41.fc12.noarch

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2009-11-20 21:39:34 UTC
You can add these rules for now using

# grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp



You can add this for now.

Miroslav can you write up a policy for the 
check_disk plugins for nagios to allow them to read fixed disk.  I really do not want to give this access to all plugins.

Comment 4 Mike Hanby 2009-11-20 23:18:18 UTC
Thanks, yeah I think adding that to all plugins would be overkill.

As an example, I'm also using check_procs plugin on this workstation and it works fine within the selinux policy.

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2009-11-23 13:44:29 UTC
Dan,

I have sent you a patch.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2009-11-23 19:24:16 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-48.fc12.noarch

Comment 7 Mike Hanby 2009-11-23 21:09:24 UTC
Thanks, I'll post back once I install the updated package.

I haven't run the manual audit2allow or semodule commands on the affected system, so it should be a good test.
