Recently, the OpenAIS Standards-Based Cluster Framework, an open implementation of the Application Interface Specification (AIS), started using POSIX semaphores instead of the SysV semaphores. With this update, relevant SELinux rules have been adjusted to reflect this change.

Comment 1 Steven Dake 2010-07-12 16:47:22 UTC
Honza,

/var/run won't be a supported operation in rhel5.6 and can be removed from the
openais work in progress patch.

As a result, /dev/shm is the only thing selinux must be concerned with.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-07-12 17:39:07 UTC
Steven /dev/shm should be labeled tmpfs_t?  This looks like something is mislabeled?

Comment 3 Steven Dake 2010-07-12 17:46:49 UTC
Dan,

Not entirely sure - Honza (jfriesse) ran the tests.  It is possible his system is not labeled properly.  He should be able to provide more information on the topic.

Dan,
it looks like (maybe) bug in selinux:

- I've ran restorecon -RvF / (to make sure that my compiled binaries have right context)

ls -ladZ /dev/shm
drwxrwxrwt  root root system_u:object_r:device_t       /dev/shm

- After computer reboot (I didn't reboot it before)

ls -ladZ /dev/shm
drwxrwxrwt  root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t        /dev/shm
- It's fully updated RHEL 5.5
- rpm -qa selinux*
selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-279.el5
selinux-policy-2.4.6-279.el5
selinux-policy-devel-2.4.6-279.el5
- getenforce
Enforcing

But back to the openais problem. It looks like simple reboot solved main problem, but unlink problem is still there:

type=AVC msg=audit(1279007167.111:29): avc:  denied  { unlink } for  pid=3610 comm="aisexec" name="openais_shm-TzIxst" dev=tmpfs ino=14559 scontext=root:system_r:aisexec_t:s0 tcontext=root:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=file

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2010-07-13 14:26:23 UTC
We are working on it with Jan.

Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2010-09-09 14:11:25 UTC
Jan,
could you test it with

selinux-policy-2.4.6-283.el5
selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-283.el5

packages.

Comment 7 Steven Dake 2010-09-09 16:17:40 UTC
Miroslav,

We moved the openais_shm* bug fix out to rhel 5.7 because of 5.6 capacity constraints.  My apologies for being unaware of this bug and recommending it for 5.7 rather then 5.6.
