Description Miroslav Grepl 2011-04-11 12:20:41 UTC
SELinux is preventing /bin/bash from 'add_name' accesses on the directory /var/run/abrt/saved_core_pattern.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that bash should be allowed add_name access on the saved_core_pattern directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep abrt-ccpp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-04-11 12:26:08 UTC
The problem is the abrt-ccpp init script is used to setup ABRT stuff directly.

Could it be done using a script which would be executed by abrt-ccpp init script?

Then we can label a script and add a transition.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-04-11 13:25:48 UTC
Sure, although not sure how much security that adds.  If we had a tightly locked down initrc_t, would having the ability to write to /var/run/abrt, give an init script a significant security advantage?

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2011-04-11 13:43:39 UTC
Yes, I can allow it for this case. 

But AFAIK ABRT will use more scripts to setup various things on the system.

I opened the bug to discussion.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-04-11 16:04:50 UTC
I guess the easiest thing would be to label the script abrt_exec_t for now.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-06 20:02:56 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
