Description GoinEasy9 2010-05-23 01:45:10 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/abrtd "read" access on abrt.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by abrtd. It is not expected that this access is
required by abrtd 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 GoinEasy9 2010-05-23 02:04:40 UTC
abrt daemon failed to start.  SELinux is also preventing /usr/sbin/abrtd "setaddr" access on abrt.  Seems to be a continuation of the same problem that caused bug #593906.  abrt daemon hasn't started since the update on 5/20.  I executed the commands:

# mkdir /var/spool/abrt
# restorecon -R -v /var/spool/abrt

on 5/20 when the problem first appeared, but it seems it didn't fix everything.  I don't use SELinux on my regular installs, so I still quite an amateur at trying to generate local policy modules.  Since abrt shouldn't need this type of access, I'll wait to see if it is a bug, or if it is something I should fix myself in SELinux policy.
I know if I disable SELinux this alert will go away, but I'd rather learn SELinux by using it on my rawhide install, I just need confirmation if it is a bug or not.

Thanks

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-24 15:00:57 UTC
What policy do you have installed?

rpm -q selinux-policy

ls -lZd /var/spool/abrt

The problem is probably this directory is mislabled.  abrt changed the location of the directory from /var/cache to /var/spool. This required a fix to selinux policy to put down the correct label.  Secondarily abrt did not put the /var/spool/abrt directory in the payload.  So rpm did not create the directory at install time with the correct label.  Having an up 2 date policy and abrt package should fix the problem.

Please try this build:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2201357

and let me know if it still doesn't work

Comment 5 GoinEasy9 2010-05-24 17:35:00 UTC
[GoinEasy9@Fedora14dw32 ~]$ rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.7.19-15.fc13.noarch
[GoinEasy9@Fedora14dw32 ~]$ ls -lZd /var/spool/abrt
drwxr-xr-x. abrt abrt system_u:object_r:var_spool_t:s0 /var/spool/abrt

Will try koji build now.

Comment 6 GoinEasy9 2010-05-24 17:58:09 UTC
I already have abrt 1.1.3-1 installed.

[GoinEasy9@Fedora14dw32 ~]$ rpm -q abrt
abrt-1.1.3-1.fc14.i686

Boot log still shows:
Starting abrt daemon: 	[FAILED]

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/abrtd "read" access on abrt.
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/abrtd "setattr" access on abrt.

I tried rm -r /var/spool/abrt and mkdir /var/spool/abrt
then, restorecon -R -v /var/spool/abrt again with same results.

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-24 18:29:01 UTC
ls -lZd /var/spool/abrt

Could you grab the full avc from /var/log/audit/audit.log

Comment 10 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-24 21:26:58 UTC
That is the wrong label.

rpm -q selinux-policy

Comment 11 GoinEasy9 2010-05-24 21:58:52 UTC
[GoinEasy9@Fedora14dw32 ~]$ rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.7.19-15.fc13.noarch

Should I remove /var/spool/abrt and reinstall selinux-policy?

I see the result of ls -lZd /var/spool/abrt has changed from comment 5, possibly because I experimented as I stated at the bottom of comment 6.

I am having the same problem 
[ats@asus ~]$  rpm -q abrt
abrt-1.1.3-1.fc14.x86_64
[ats@asus ~]$ ls -lZd /var/spool/abrt

Please update to the latest policy in fedora-updates.

> Please update to the latest policy in fedora-updates.    
I had selinux-policy-3.7.19-15.fc13 yum offered me no update so I installed selinux-policy-3.7.19-21.fc13 from koji and abrtd upon reboot.

Comment 16 atswartz 2010-05-26 23:12:59 UTC
EDIT: abrtd started OK upon reboot

Comment 17 GoinEasy9 2010-05-27 01:02:16 UTC
I removed /var/spool/abrt, reinstalled abrt, which resulted in:

[GoinEasy9@Fedora14dw32 ~]$ ls -lZd /var/spool/abrt
drwxr-xr-x. abrt abrt system_u:object_r:var_spool_t:s0 /var/spool/abrt

I then installed selinux-policy-3.7.19-21.fc13 from koji, and the abrtd daemon started after reboot.

Comment 18 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-27 14:23:47 UTC
Can you bump karma on the selinux-policy
