Description of problem: When I tried to use the cloneDatabase function of mongo, my mongodb raised this SELinux alert. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/mongod from 'name_connect' accesses on the tcp_socket . ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that mongod should be allowed name_connect access on the tcp_socket 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 mongod /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:mongod_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:mongod_port_t:s0 Target Objects [ tcp_socket ] Source mongod Source Path /usr/bin/mongod Port 27017 Host (removed) Source RPM Packages mongodb-server-2.2.3-4.fc17.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-169.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 4 First Seen 2013-06-05 02:14:12 EDT Last Seen 2013-06-05 02:17:14 EDT Local ID 3484e248-21fa-4953-a98c-5dcf60d20147 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1370413034.287:268): avc: denied { name_connect } for pid=6675 comm="mongod" dest=27017 scontext=system_u:system_r:mongod_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mongod_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1370413034.287:268): arch=x86_64 syscall=connect success=no exit=EACCES a0=f a1=7fa257cf5008 a2=10 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=6675 auid=4294967295 uid=184 gid=989 euid=184 suid=184 fsuid=184 egid=989 sgid=989 fsgid=989 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=mongod exe=/usr/bin/mongod subj=system_u:system_r:mongod_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: mongod,mongod_t,mongod_port_t,tcp_socket,name_connect audit2allow #============= mongod_t ============== allow mongod_t mongod_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect; audit2allow -R #============= mongod_t ============== allow mongod_t mongod_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 type: libreport
Added to all Fedora releases.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
