SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from using the 'signal' accesses on a process.
Last modified: 2013-08-21 20:53:33 EDT
Description of problem: this happened when I enabled ipv6 pings in smokeping. *** Probes *** +FPing6 binary = /usr/sbin/fping6 .... *** Targets *** probe = FPing6 see: http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/probe/FPing6.en.html SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from using the 'signal' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that perl should be allowed signal access on processes labeled smokeping_t 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 perl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:smokeping_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:smokeping_t:s0 Target Objects [ process ] Source perl Source Path /usr/bin/perl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages perl-5.16.3-265.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-69.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.10.4-300.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 30 11:29:05 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-08-07 07:49:12 PDT Last Seen 2013-08-07 07:49:12 PDT Local ID 5b1289e8-7706-4397-8e6a-1e5bc464691d Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1375886952.647:333): avc: denied { signal } for pid=26617 comm="perl" scontext=system_u:system_r:smokeping_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:smokeping_t:s0 tclass=process type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1375886952.647:333): arch=x86_64 syscall=kill success=no exit=EACCES a0=6804 a1=f a2=33023f8 a3=32e20d0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=26617 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=perl exe=/usr/bin/perl subj=system_u:system_r:smokeping_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: perl,smokeping_t,smokeping_t,process,signal Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.10.4-300.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
