Description Federico Simoncelli 2013-04-03 04:35:45 EDT

Description of problem:
sanlock-helper process should be granted the permission to sigkill any process.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.7.19-195.el6_4.3.noarch

Actual results:
type=1400 audit(1364976234.250:98432): avc:  denied  { sigkill } for  pid=6958 comm="sanlock-helper" scontext=system_u:system_r:sanlock_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:virtd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process

Expected results:
sanlock-helper should be allowed to sigkill any process that is registered to sanlock (note: not limited to virtd_t).

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2013-04-08 12:53:40 EDT

Well I would prefer you to be more specific. What kind of daemons do you run under sanlock.  BTW I found the bug that is causing this access to not be available in virt.if.
