Description Göran Uddeborg 2013-07-02 21:45:17 UTC
Description of problem:
I get error messages from anacron saying that the daily cups cron script isn't allowed to open /var/spool/cups/tmp.  And from setroubleshoot I get a corresponding message that tmpreaper_t isn't allowed to read print_spool_t.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-57.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
Every night

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just wait for the nightly messages

Actual results:
Message from anacron:

    /etc/cron.daily/cups:

    error: opendir error on current directory /var/spool/cups/tmp: Permission denied
    error: cleanup failed in /var/spool/cups/tmp: Permission denied

Message from setroubleshoot, containing these details:

    type=AVC msg=audit(1372470004.532:881): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=8880 comm="tmpwatch" name="tmp" dev="sda2" ino=3041586 scontext=system_u:system_r:tmpreaper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:print_spool_t:s0 tclass=dir

    type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1372470004.532:881): arch=x86_64 syscall=openat success=no exit=EACCES a0=ffffffffffffff9c a1=404257 a2=90800 a3=0 items=0 ppid=8878 pid=8880 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=89 tty=(none) comm=tmpwatch exe=/usr/sbin/tmpwatch subj=system_u:system_r:tmpreaper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)


Expected results:
No errors

Additional info:
I first got this when I installed an earlier version of selinux-policy during the alpha or beta phase.  But before I got around to reporting it, I saw that a newer version had the changelog entry

    Allow tmpwatch to read tmp in /var/spool/{cups,lpd}

for version 3.12.1-33.  But now after upgrading I still get these messages, which makes me wonder.  Could it be something "stuck" from the previous policy version?
