fetchmail is blocked by selinux
Last modified: 2015-09-15 04:25:48 EDT
Description of problem: fetchmail is blocked by selinux with Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: fetchmail-6.3.24-3.fc19.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create "fetchmail.service" under /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/fetchmail.service and put some account into /etc/fetchmailrc which can be used by fetchmail -------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Install # in directory /lib/systemd/system [Unit] Description=fetchmail retrieves and forwards mail After=local-fs.target network.target [Service] Type=simple User=mail ExecStart=/usr/bin/fetchmail -N -s --fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Start service Actual results: Blocked by selinux --> cannot acces /etc/hosts and several other files. Expected results: Run flawlessly Additional info: after several tries with selinux the following "mypol.te" made it work: module mypol 1.0; require { type net_conf_t; type fetchmail_t; class netlink_route_socket { bind getattr create }; class file { read getattr open }; } #============= fetchmail_t ============== allow fetchmail_t net_conf_t:file getattr; #!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy allow fetchmail_t net_conf_t:file { read open }; allow fetchmail_t self:netlink_route_socket getattr; #!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy allow fetchmail_t self:netlink_route_socket { bind create };
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Just for your information - I added examples of fetchmail.service and very basic fetchmailrc file into the package, starting with fetchmail-6.3.26-7.fc24. I didn't experience any SELinux issues. If you do, please report them against selinux-policy component. Thanks!
