RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Milos Malik 2010-05-11 14:15:40 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-2.0.82-14.el6.ppc64
policycoreutils-debuginfo-2.0.82-14.el6.ppc64
policycoreutils-gui-2.0.82-14.el6.ppc64
policycoreutils-newrole-2.0.82-14.el6.ppc64
policycoreutils-python-2.0.82-14.el6.ppc64
policycoreutils-sandbox-2.0.82-14.el6.ppc64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# semanage node -l
IP Address         Netmask            Protocol Context

# semanage node -a -p ipv6 -t node_t -M ::1 ::1
# semanage node -l
IP Address         Netmask            Protocol Context

0.0.0.0            0.0.0.0            ipv4  system_u:object_r:node_t:s0 
# semanage node -d -p ipv6 -t node_t -M ::1 ::1
/usr/sbin/semanage: Addr ::1 is not defined
# semanage node -l
IP Address         Netmask            Protocol Context

0.0.0.0            0.0.0.0            ipv4  system_u:object_r:node_t:s0 
# semanage node -d -p ipv4 -t node_t -M 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
# semanage node -l
IP Address         Netmask            Protocol Context

# 

Actual results:
semanage handles IPv6 addresses incorrectly

Expected results:
semanage handles IPv6 addresses correctly

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-17 21:11:20 UTC
Strange no data gets written and no error is thrown.

Comment 2 Stephen Smalley 2010-05-18 13:15:58 UTC
Looks like it is ignoring the protocol specifier (-p ipv6) and just always using ipv4/0.
Looking at the code, I see that:
seobject.py:nodeRecords:__add calls semanage_node_create() and semanage_node_set_addr(), but not semanage_node_set_proto().

Down in libsepol then, I see that:
sepol_node_create() defaults to SEPOL_PROTO_IP4.
sepol_node_set_addr() does not check or set the proto value even though it is supplied.

Options for fixing:
- Change seobject.py to call semanage_node_set_proto(proto), and change sepol_node_set_addr() to assert that node->proto == proto, -or-
- Change sepol_node_set_addr() to implicitly set node->proto to the specified value.

I don't think anyone has previously tried semanage node with ipv6.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-19 18:27:44 UTC
Ok that fixes it so it can be added.  There seems to be a bug in semanage_node_query though.  It returns 1, None, when I try to modify the ::1 node.

Comment 4 Stephen Smalley 2010-05-21 12:22:48 UTC
Did you specify the mask and address precisely?

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-21 12:31:28 UTC
# semanage node -l
IP Address         Netmask            Protocol Context

0.0.0.0            0.0.0.0            ipv4  system_u:object_r:node_t:s0 
::1                ::1                ipv6  system_u:object_r:node_t:s0 


semanage node -m -t httpd_t -pipv6 -M ::1 ::1
Segmentation fault


      def __modify(self, addr, mask, proto, serange, setype):
               if addr == "":
                       raise ValueError(_("Node Address is required"))

               if mask == "":
                       raise ValueError(_("Node Netmask is required"))
               try:
                      proto = self.protocol.index(proto)
               except:
                      raise ValueError(_("Unknown or missing protocol"))

               if serange == "" and setype == "":
                       raise ValueError(_("Requires setype or serange"))

               (rc, k) = semanage_node_key_create(self.sh, addr, mask, proto)
               if rc < 0:
                       raise ValueError(_("Could not create key for %s") % addr)

               (rc, exists) = semanage_node_exists(self.sh, k)
               if rc < 0:
                       raise ValueError(_("Could not check if addr %s is defined") % addr)
               if not exists:
                       raise ValueError(_("Addr %s is not defined") % addr)

               (rc, node) = semanage_node_query(self.sh, k)
               if rc < 0:
                       raise ValueError(_("Could not query addr %s") % addr)

               con = semanage_node_get_con(node)
 BLOWS UP HERE because node==None

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-21 12:34:53 UTC
I can fix the problem by changing

               (rc, node) = semanage_node_query(self.sh, k)

To

               (rc, node) = semanage_node_query_local(self.sh, k)

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-21 12:55:44 UTC
Fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.82-21.el6

Comment 9 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-11 14:54:22 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
