Description Tuomo Soini 2011-03-22 20:47:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

openswan has facility to enable coredumps by adding config variable dumpdir= in config setup section. Selinux prevents this but doesn't give AVC denial about the issue.

How reproducible:

Always

avc generated with semodule -DB

type=AVC msg=audit(1300825551.591:24204): avc:  denied  { rlimitinh } for  pid=31204 comm="sh" scontext=user_u:system_r:ipsec_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:system_r:ipsec_mgmt_t:s0 tclass=process

This need to be allowed so that openswan startup can enable coredumps.
Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2011-03-22 20:52:43 UTC 
We should allow this.
Comment 2 Tuomo Soini 2011-03-22 21:58:03 UTC 
# startup scripts of pluto need to be able to set ulimit -c unlimited
allow ipsec_t ipsec_mgmt_t:process rlimitinh;
