Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/bash from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/passwd. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that bash 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 sh /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:system_r:openshift_app_t:s0-s0:c0.c10 23 Target Context system_u:object_r:passwd_file_t:s0 Target Objects /etc/passwd [ file ] Source sh Source Path /usr/bin/bash Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages bash-4.2.45-1.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages setup-2.8.57-1.fc18.noarch Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-97.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 24 20:10:49 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2013-06-05 11:19:00 PDT Last Seen 2013-06-05 11:19:00 PDT Local ID f970579b-82a3-4264-b354-eaf0fb8e9baa Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1370456340.79:652): avc: denied { read } for pid=5728 comm="sh" name="passwd" dev="dm-2" ino=2492695 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:openshift_app_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:passwd_file_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1370456340.79:652): avc: denied { open } for pid=5728 comm="sh" path="/etc/passwd" dev="dm-2" ino=2492695 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:openshift_app_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:passwd_file_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1370456340.79:652): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=yes exit=ESRCH a0=7f6710bd06ca a1=80000 a2=1b6 a3=238 items=0 ppid=5725 pid=5728 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=10 tty=(none) comm=sh exe=/usr/bin/bash subj=unconfined_u:system_r:openshift_app_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: sh,openshift_app_t,passwd_file_t,file,read audit2allow #============= openshift_app_t ============== allow openshift_app_t passwd_file_t:file { read open }; audit2allow -R require { type openshift_app_t; } #============= openshift_app_t ============== auth_read_passwd(openshift_app_t) Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
Currently we do not want openshift apps to read /etc/passwd If you run in enforcing mode does your app work. 8ec462331abe3c920590e08d68e93a5f1984fe5f allows this for now in git
