Description Paul Collins 2011-10-14 00:56:25 UTC
SELinux is preventing /bin/bash from 'getattr' accesses on the file /sbin/shorewall.

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

If you believe that bash should be allowed getattr access on the shorewall file 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 sh /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-14 07:47:18 UTC
Does fail2ban want to execute shorewall?

Comment 2 Paul Collins 2011-10-14 21:51:53 UTC
As far as I understand yes. It wants to be able to do a "shorewall drop [IP]" when it detects a violation. 

Note that this is not the default config as the fail2ban rpm config likes to do things directly in IPTables, but since I have shorewall installed I configured it to use shorewall to do the drops.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-18 07:01:12 UTC
Make sense.
