sealert -l e6d2d369-5ac1-46e8-89f9-ab483923d21e SELinux is preventing rpcbind from read access on the file /etc/passwd. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that rpcbind should be allowed read access on the passwd 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 rpcbind /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:passwd_file_t:s0 Target Objects /etc/passwd [ file ] Source rpcbind Source Path rpcbind Port <Unknown> Host f18.boston.devel.redhat.com Source RPM Packages rpcbind-0.2.0-18.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages setup-2.8.57-1.fc18.noarch Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-18.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name f18.boston.devel.redhat.com Platform Linux f18.boston.devel.redhat.com 3.6.0-0.rc2.git2.1.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 22 11:54:04 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2012-10-17 09:10:47 EDT Last Seen 2012-10-17 09:11:31 EDT Local ID e6d2d369-5ac1-46e8-89f9-ab483923d21e Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1350479491.941:46): avc: denied { read } for pid=878 comm="rpcbind" name="passwd" dev="dm-1" ino=133305 scontext=system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:passwd_file_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1350479491.941:46): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7effb960d6ea a1=80000 a2=1b6 a3=238 items=0 ppid=1 pid=878 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=rpcbind exe=/usr/sbin/rpcbind subj=system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: rpcbind,rpcbind_t,passwd_file_t,file,read audit2allow #============= rpcbind_t ============== allow rpcbind_t passwd_file_t:file read; audit2allow -R #============= rpcbind_t ============== allow rpcbind_t passwd_file_t:file read;
