Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail access to a leaked /tmp/.NSPR-AFM-1761-26861e0.0 (deleted) file descriptor. Detailed Description: [sendmail has a permissive type (system_mail_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the sendmail command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or sendmail output was redirected to a file it is not allowed to access. Leaks usually can be ignored since SELinux is just closing the leak and reporting the error. The application does not use the descriptor, so it will run properly. If this is a redirection, you will not get output in the /tmp/.NSPR-AFM-1761-26861e0.0 (deleted). You should generate a bugzilla on selinux-policy, and it will get routed to the appropriate package. You can safely ignore this avc. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:httpd_tmp_t:s0 Target Objects /tmp/.NSPR-AFM-1761-26861e0.0 (deleted) [ file ] Source sendmail Source Path /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages sendmail-8.14.3-8.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-113.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name leaks Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 5 16:32:08 EDT 2010 i686 athlon Alert Count 5 First Seen Thu 06 May 2010 11:07:33 AM PDT Last Seen Thu 06 May 2010 11:47:59 AM PDT Local ID 0973b3df-d130-493a-97b2-2e2267b68d8c Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1273171679.771:57): avc: denied { write } for pid=4060 comm="sendmail" path=2F746D702F2E4E5350522D41464D2D313736312D323638363165302E30202864656C6574656429 dev=dm-0 ino=4003 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_tmp_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1273171679.771:57): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=yes exit=0 a0=8ba8ac8 a1=8ba8c08 a2=8ba7ed8 a3=8ba8c08 items=0 ppid=1814 pid=4060 auid=4294967295 uid=48 gid=489 euid=48 suid=48 fsuid=48 egid=486 sgid=486 fsgid=486 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="sendmail" exe="/usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail" subj=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0 key=(null) Hash String generated from leaks,sendmail,system_mail_t,httpd_tmp_t,file,write audit2allow suggests: #============= system_mail_t ============== allow system_mail_t httpd_tmp_t:file write;
Whatever app is creating /tmp/.NSPR-AFM-1761-26861e0.0 is leaking the file. Miroslov, Add apache_dontaudit_write_tmp_files(system_mail_t)
