Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/webalizer access to a leaked /root file descriptor. Detailed Description: [webalizer has a permissive type (webalizer_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the webalizer command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or webalizer 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 /root. 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:webalizer_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Target Objects /root [ dir ] Source webalizer Source Path /usr/bin/webalizer Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages webalizer-2.21_02-3 Target RPM Packages filesystem-2.4.31-1.fc13 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.7.19-44.fc13 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name leaks Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.34.2-34.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Thu Aug 5 23:16:07 UTC 2010 i686 i686 Alert Count 4 First Seen Sun 08 Aug 2010 03:31:01 AM EST Last Seen Thu 12 Aug 2010 03:14:01 AM EST Local ID 156d9d39-519b-4c65-9715-e20cf085c1dd Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1281546841.461:39347): avc: denied { read } for pid=2093 comm="webalizer" path="/root" dev=dm-0 ino=268 scontext=system_u:system_r:webalizer_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=dir node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1281546841.461:39347): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=yes exit=0 a0=85e1bb8 a1=85e3cf8 a2=85e3f60 a3=85e3cf8 items=0 ppid=2088 pid=2093 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=454 comm="webalizer" exe="/usr/bin/webalizer" subj=system_u:system_r:webalizer_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from leaks,webalizer,webalizer_t,admin_home_t,dir,read audit2allow suggests: #============= webalizer_t ============== allow webalizer_t admin_home_t:dir read;
Do you run webalizer from cron? I will add userdom_dontaudit_list_admin_dir(admin_home_t)
I think cronnie is leaking an open file descriptor to /root We have seen the same AVC appear in prelink and webalizer, both tools run from cron.
