Description Tuomo Soini 2011-03-22 21:17:25 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #689953 +++

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.

--- Additional comment from dwalsh on 2011-03-22 16:52:43 EDT ---

We should allow this.

Comment 1 Tuomo Soini 2011-03-22 21:57:37 UTC
# startup scripts of pluto need to be able to set ulimit -c unlimited
allow ipsec_t ipsec_mgmt_t:process rlimitinh;

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2011-03-29 08:17:59 UTC
I will add it.
