Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/dnsmasq from read access on the directory /tftpboot. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that dnsmasq should be allowed read access on the tftpboot 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 dnsmasq /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:dnsmasq_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:tftpdir_t:s0 Target Objects /tftpboot [ dir ] Source dnsmasq Source Path /usr/sbin/dnsmasq Port <Unknown> Host srv06.kola.fad.ru Source RPM Packages dnsmasq-2.63-1.fc17.x86_64 Target RPM Packages syslinux-tftpboot-4.05-1.fc17.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-156.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name srv06.kola.fad.ru Platform Linux srv06.kola.fad.ru 3.6.5-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 31 19:37:18 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 8 First Seen 2012-11-10 22:55:00 MSK Last Seen 2012-11-11 15:17:38 MSK Local ID 6f7ea76e-a009-43b6-a69f-6b08e47ab48e Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1352632658.911:812): avc: denied { read } for pid=17494 comm="dnsmasq" name="tftpboot" dev="dm-1" ino=3145729 scontext=system_u:system_r:dnsmasq_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tftpdir_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1352632658.911:812): arch=x86_64 syscall=openat success=no exit=EACCES a0=ffffffffffffff9c a1=e99d20 a2=90800 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=17494 auid=4294967295 uid=99 gid=40 euid=99 suid=99 fsuid=99 egid=40 sgid=40 fsgid=40 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=dnsmasq exe=/usr/sbin/dnsmasq subj=system_u:system_r:dnsmasq_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: dnsmasq,dnsmasq_t,tftpdir_t,dir,read audit2allow #============= dnsmasq_t ============== allow dnsmasq_t tftpdir_t:dir read; audit2allow -R #============= dnsmasq_t ============== allow dnsmasq_t tftpdir_t:dir read; Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnsmasq-2.63-1.fc17.x86_64 syslinux-tftpboot-4.05-1.fc17.x86_64 selinux-policy-3.10.0-156.fc17.noarch How reproducible: Always reproducible.
