Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail access to a leaked /var/tmp/tmpNd_UOgEPYLOG/tmp2FXv8WFILT 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 /var/tmp/tmpNd_UOgEPYLOG/tmp2FXv8WFILT. 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-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:logwatch_tmp_t:s0 Target Objects /var/tmp/tmpNd_UOgEPYLOG/tmp2FXv8WFILT [ file ] Source sendmail Source Path /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages sendmail-8.14.4-4.fc13 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.7.19-33.fc13 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name leaks Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686 #1 SMP Tue Jul 6 22:30:55 UTC 2010 i686 i686 Alert Count 5 First Seen Wed 14 Jul 2010 01:16:24 PM CDT Last Seen Wed 14 Jul 2010 01:16:24 PM CDT Local ID d5ab9699-764d-4936-bfe8-1bc50532f75f Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1279131384.218:162): avc: denied { write } for pid=4131 comm="sendmail" path="/var/tmp/tmpNd_UOgEPYLOG/tmp2FXv8WFILT" dev=dm-0 ino=700154 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:logwatch_tmp_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1279131384.218:162): avc: denied { write } for pid=4131 comm="sendmail" path="/var/tmp/tmpNd_UOgEPYLOG/tmpMEVRKYRAW" dev=dm-0 ino=700164 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:logwatch_tmp_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1279131384.218:162): avc: denied { read } for pid=4131 comm="sendmail" path="/var/log/maillog" dev=dm-0 ino=1367653 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1279131384.218:162): avc: denied { read } for pid=4131 comm="sendmail" path="/var/log/messages" dev=dm-0 ino=1367651 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1279131384.218:162): avc: denied { read } for pid=4131 comm="sendmail" path="/var/log/secure" dev=dm-0 ino=1367652 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1279131384.218:162): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=yes exit=0 a0=9674940 a1=96749c8 a2=9673f98 a3=96749c8 items=0 ppid=4046 pid=4131 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=485 sgid=485 fsgid=485 tty=(none) ses=12 comm="sendmail" exe="/usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail" subj=system_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from leaks,sendmail,system_mail_t,logwatch_tmp_t,file,write audit2allow suggests: #============= system_mail_t ============== allow system_mail_t logwatch_tmp_t:file write; allow system_mail_t var_log_t:file read;
Dan, I see you added fixes for logwatch policy in Rawhide.
Yes probably need to backport to F13.
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-38.fc13
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
