Bug 550015

The cupsd_interface_t type is missing in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. (Original report on cups.general, 22/12/09.)

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #464570 +++

Description of problem:
When using the lpadmin '-i' option to set an interface script for a printer, SELinux audit messages are seen because the script is not executable.

cupsd creates the file as /etc/cups/interfaces/$NAME, and needs to be able to modify/remove that filename.  It also needs to be able to execute it, in the same way that filters are executed.

I think what's required is:

1. a new type, cups_interface_t, which is like cups_etc_rw_t but which also allows execution.
2. files in /etc/cups/interfaces to be labelled cups_interface_t

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.3.1-91.fc9

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

cat <<EOF >my-interface-script
#!/bin/sh
touch /tmp/test
EOF

lpadmin -p x -i my-interface-script
cupsenable x
accept x

echo . | lp -dx

ls -l /tmp/test
# File should exist
  
Actual results:
/tmp/test does not exist.

Expected results:
/tmp/test exists.
