Description Jakub Hrozek 2011-10-20 13:47:37 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #746265 +++

Description of problem:
The fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743841 included creating a symlink to a dbus socket in the /var/lib/sss/pipes/private directory. However, the selinux-policy must be tweaked in order to allow SSSD to manage symlinks there.

This BZ is a dependency of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743841

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.7.19-117.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install RHEL6.2 candidate SSSD (sssd-1.5.1-56 or newer)
2. service sssd start
3.
  
Actual results:
AVC denials

Expected results:
no AVC denials

Additional info:
Code-wise, we do:
 * symlink
 * stat
 * readlink
 * unlink

symlink, readlink and unlink on the symlink are only be called from sssd_be now, stat is done from the other sssd processes as well

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-20 13:51:16 UTC
Also added to Rawhide.

Comment 2 Jakub Hrozek 2011-10-20 13:52:43 UTC
Stephen, I think we must hold off releasing 1.5.14 (in updates-testing now), until this is fixed, otherwise we'd break all enforcing sssd installations.

Comment 3 Stephen Gallagher 2011-10-21 14:20:44 UTC
Miroslav, we need this bug fixed in Fedora 15 and 16 as well. Please perform a Koji build and tell me the package NVR. I will add that version of the selinux-policy package to the Bodhi update containing SSSD 1.5.14 and 1.6.2 (F15 and F16, respectively).

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-21 14:42:37 UTC
Looks like it was added to F16 as of

selinux-policy-3.10.0-41.f16

And F15 seems to have it in 

selinux-policy-3.9.16-44.fc15

Comment 5 Stephen Gallagher 2011-10-21 15:00:26 UTC
Ok, I've added those to the following Bodhi Updates:
 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-14639 (Fedora 15)
 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-14614 (Fedora 16)
