Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/ping from 'read' accesses on the file /proc/<pid>/net/dev. ***** Plugin leaks (86.2 confidence) suggests ****************************** If you want to ignore ping trying to read access the dev file, because you believe it should not need this access. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to dontaudit this access. Do # grep /usr/bin/ping /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp ***** Plugin catchall (14.7 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that ping should be allowed read access on the dev 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 ping /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:ping_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:proc_net_t:s0 Target Objects /proc/<pid>/net/dev [ file ] Source ping Source Path /usr/bin/ping Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages iputils-20101006-16.fc17.i686 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-167.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.7.9-104.fc17.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sun Feb 24 19:27:47 UTC 2013 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-03-11 11:27:13 CST Last Seen 2013-03-11 11:27:13 CST Local ID 5184a3ea-2346-46a9-855e-5d2e52e262bc Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1362972433.381:94): avc: denied { read } for pid=2353 comm="ping" path="/proc/1297/net/dev" dev="proc" ino=4026531972 scontext=system_u:system_r:ping_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:proc_net_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1362972433.381:94): arch=i386 syscall=execve success=yes exit=0 a0=82e5188 a1=82e5508 a2=82e6438 a3=82e5508 items=0 ppid=2335 pid=2353 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=ping exe=/usr/bin/ping subj=system_u:system_r:ping_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: ping,ping_t,proc_net_t,file,read audit2allow #============= ping_t ============== allow ping_t proc_net_t:file read; audit2allow -R #============= ping_t ============== allow ping_t proc_net_t:file read; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.7.9-104.fc17.i686.PAE type: libreport
This looks like a leak, but we might as well allow it. 5e61b7ba2ced76dea8bed11ffd24a279163255e6 allows this in Rawhide.
