List of operations
by Göran Uddeborg
Maybe this is a FAQ, but I haven't found it answered in any of the
FAQ:s I've looked through:
Is there some kind of documentation list over the available classes
and operations (permissions)?
Other concepts, like types and roles are defined in the policy, with
some luck together with a comment. In some cases there are even
manual pages, like httpd_selinux.
But the list of available classes and operations must be defined by
the kernel module if I understand things correctly. I could extract a
list from the flask/access_vectors file. But I would have liked
something with a sentence or so of explanation. Some names may be
self-explanatory, but many are not obvious. I'm imagining some kind
of list like the appendices of the O'Reilley book, but updated for the
current version. Does such a list exist somewhere? Or is it just in
my imagination? :-)

cc'd fedora-selinux-list as well above, since you mentioned you were
using FC4.
This usually indicates a text relocation, which is undesirable if it can
be avoided. The stock FC4 php doesn't appear to have any text
relocations in its libphp (readelf -d libphp5.so.1 | grep TEXTREL).
Possibly it has a patch to avoid the problem.
Ideally, it would be best if you could similarly patch or fix the build
for PHP 5.1.2. If you truly need to allow it, then you can label
the .so file with the texrel_shlib_t type (since you are using FC4, I
used the old type name).

SELinux Module Packaging in FC5
by Paul Howarth
Is there any documentation anywhere on including SELinux Policy Modules
in packages (e.g. for Extras) in FC5? For instance, is there a directory
where modules can be dropped into so that they get picked up
aotomatically? Where should they live?
Consider an example. I have an LDAP-backed addressbook frontend written
in PHP that runs on apache. So I install the files in /var/www/someplace
in my package and I need to provide an SELinux module that:
* Includes the appropriate file contexts for the application's cache
directory, which needs to be writable by httpd
* Gives httpd permission to contact LDAP servers over the network (i.e.
ports 389 and 636)
Is it possible to turn on the httpd_builtin_scripting boolean from a
module (the app is written in PHP and needs this)? Is it even sensible
to try to do this, or there just be a README.SELinux telling people they
need to do this themselves?
Should the module be loaded in a %post script?
Some guidelines would no doubt be appreciated by many people.
Paul.

Another mount issue
by Paul Howarth
On my file/web/samba/nfs server I have a software archive, which I serve
out using both samba and httpd. So the whole thing as
public_content_rw_t, and the appropriate boolean set so that samba can
write to it.
On the software archive I have DVD ISO images of FC4 and FC5. I have
fstab entries for these to loopback mount them as follows:
/srv/softlib/fedora/stentz/FC4-i386-DVD.iso /srv/softlib/fedora/stentz/dvd iso9660 ro,loop,fscontext=system_u:object_r:public_content_t 0 0
/srv/softlib/fedora/bordeaux/FC-5-i386-DVD.iso /srv/softlib/fedora/bordeaux/dvd iso9660 ro,loop,fscontext=system_u:object_r:public_content_t 0 0
Unfortunately the mount won't work at boot time because mount is
confined to the mount_t domain, which can't read public_content_rw_t:
Apr 21 08:40:21 badby kernel: audit(1145605218.512:331): avc: denied
{ read } for pid=1469 comm="mount" name="FC4-i386-DVD.iso" dev=dm-5
ino=1032205 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:public_content_rw_t:s0 tclass=file

ino=606259 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0
tcontext=root:object_r:public_content_rw_t:s0 tclass=file
A "mount -a" after booting works fine as it then runs unconfined.
Is this something that should be generally allowed or should I just
write local policy to fix this?

procmail
by Paul Howarth
I use procmail as my local delivery agent from sendmail. In FC5 this
appears to be running as procmail_t.
Procmail offers the ability to pipe mail through programs (filters), and
I use this facility from time to time. I'm getting quite a lot of
denials when doing this and wonder what the right approach to fixing
them is.
Case 1: a locally-written shell script called "spamdomain"
This is in my ~/bin directory and of type user_home_t
Procmail recipe:
SPAMDOMAIN=`spamdomain`
Result:
Apr 11 16:14:29 goalkeeper kernel: audit(1144768469.242:8006): avc:
denied { execute } for pid=16622 comm="procmail" name="spamdomain"

scontext=system_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=file
Case 2: piping mail through "sa-learn"
I run spamass-milter to reject mail in-protocol and then my own local
filter using procmail on anything that gets through. If I'm sure
something's spam, I like spamassassin to learn about it so I might
reject it earlier in future. So I pipe it through sa-learn (spamd_exec_t):
Procmail recipe:
:0c
| sa-learn --username=paul(a)city-fan.org --spam >/dev/null 2>&1
Result:
Apr 11 16:14:41 goalkeeper kernel: audit(1144768481.743:8008): avc:

dev=dm-3 ino=852750 scontext=system_u:system_r:procmail_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:spamd_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
The "bash" denials will be due to procmail forking a shell to handle the
redirects.
What *should* I be doing here to fix this? I know I could just add local
policy to fix the denials, but is there a way to do it that's supported
by existing policy?

All boleans for nfs are set to true, if I do setenforce 0 it works.

I had the same problem when using Kino which also uses ffmpeg. Here is
what I did and it works.
execstack -c /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0
execstack -c /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so.4
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/libavformat.so.50
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/libavutil.so.49
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51
This also takes care of the problem with lame-3.96.1-10.rhfc5.at,
libxvidcore4-1.1.0-8.rhfc5.at,
libavformat50-0.4.9-14_cvs20060301.rhfc5.at,
libavutil49-0.4.9-14_cvs20060301.rhfc5.at, and
libavcodec51-0.4.9-14_cvs20060301.rhfc5.at.

mock and SELinux
by Paul Howarth
I've written up my workaround for getting mock to work under SELinux at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/MockTricks (the bottom half of the

give it a once-over to make sure I'm not talking complete nonsense... :-)

Problem with SELinux and Postfix (sending from Python scripts)
by Jeff Coffler
Hi folks,
I found this link that had a similar (but not identical) problem:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2004-December/msg00033...
O/S: Fedora Core5
Mail server: Postfix
SELinux: Enabled.
Basically, the problem is this. When I try to send E-Mail from a Python
script, Postfix fails. In the maillog file, I see:
Apr 24 13:53:57 miffy postfix/pickup[29094]: warning: maildrop/2104D276B2A:
Permission denied
In messages, I see:
Apr 24 13:57:58 miffy kernel: audit(1145912278.348:688): avc: denied {
getattr } for pid=29094 comm="pickup" name="2104D276B2A" dev=sda3
ino=2583338 scontext=root:system_r:postfix_pickup_t:s0
tcontext=root:object_r:postfix_spool_t:s0 tclass=file
If I set SELinux to permissive mode, it works fine.
Is this an SELinux policy problem? How can I go about fixing this? I'd
prefer to run with SELinux enabled ...
Thanks!
