Description Debarshi Ray 2011-08-23 19:52:10 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to run unbound causes SELinux alerts which can be worked around by the following commands:

# semanage port -a -t dns_port_t -p tcp 8953

# grep unbound /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
unbound-1.4.12-1.fc15

How reproducible:
Install unbound and try to run it using:
# systemctl start unbound.service

I'm seeing this too, in Fedora 14.

Comment 2 Paul Wouters 2011-09-22 02:29:07 UTC
unbound has no selinux policies yet. I hope to add these soon

Comment 3 François Kooman 2011-10-21 15:13:11 UTC
*** Bug 747972 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-21 15:20:38 UTC
Added port 8953 to dns_port_t by default in F16

selinux-policy-3.10.0-47.fc17

Comment 5 Greg 2011-11-24 08:31:07 UTC
I've solve it by disable the remote control.

unbound.conf
...
# Remote control config section. 
remote-control:
        # Enable remote control with unbound-control(8) here.
        # set up the keys and certificates with unbound-control-setup.
        # Note: required for unbound-munin package
        control-enable: no
...

I propose to change the default config of the package to solve this issue. What do you think about it ?

Comment 6 Robin Bowes 2011-12-07 15:37:15 UTC
Bad idea to "solve" the problem by changing the default config.

That just means it will break when the remote-control option is enabled.

Fixing the policy is the correct route. Shame it's only in Fedora, not RHEL6.2 !! :)

R.

Comment 7 Paul Wouters 2012-02-28 02:25:38 UTC
This was fixed in the last few weeks with updates to the selinux-policy package. Please try with the latest (or perhaps the latest from updates-testing at this point) and let me know if you still see any problems.

Thanks to Dan Walsh for fixing this with me!
