Re: using an interface defined in another loaded module
by SZIGETVÁRI János
Dear Gary,
Thanks a zillion times for your help, the building of the policy works fine
now that I have copied the .if file of the submodule to the directory you
mentioned!
I did not know I was reqired to copy the module's interface file to
SELinux's include dirs to make it available for other modules to use.
BTW, I was building my module from within my "policy builder and installer"
script using the "traditional" way of:
# make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile A.pp
Now the build process works, thanks to your suggestion!
Best Regards,
János

Initial context for init
by Philip Seeley
Hi all,
Quick question is:
In the targeted policy should init run SystemHigh as it does in the mls
policy?
The background:
We're setting up a targeted system where we confine all users and remove
the unconfined policy module, but we also enable polyinstantiation of /tmp
and /var/tmp.
If we ssh in as a staff_u user phil and elevate to root/sysadm_r then we
have a context of:
staff_u:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
And therefore /var/tmp is:
drwxrwxrwt. root root system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 /var/tmp
Which is really:
drwxrwxrwt. root root
system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 /var/tmp-inst/system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023_phil
The real /var/tmp is:
drwxrwxrwt. root root system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 /var/tmp
Now if we use run_init to update an RPM that contains a post install
script, rpm can't create the temporary script file:
# run_init bash -c 'rpm -i
--force /root/libselinux-2.0.94-7.el6.x86_64.rpm'
Authenticating phil.
Password:
error: error creating temporary file /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.atkHTf: Permission
denied
error: Couldn't create temporary file for %post
(libselinux-2.0.94-7.el6.x86_64): Permission denied
Note: you need to use run_init as the rpm might restart a service, e.g. the
sssd rpm.
We've traced this to the /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/initrc_context file
which contains:
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0
So we transition to initrc_t and then to rpm_t without any categories, but
because the polyinstantiated /var/tmp directory has c0.c1023 we get denied.
Normally in targeted init runs unconfined, but we've removed this.
type=AVC msg=audit(1467342325.016:716): avc: denied { read } for
pid=2779 comm="rpm" name="system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023_phil"
dev=dm-0 ino=1966082 scontext=system_u:system_r:rpm_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=dir
It works if we change initrc_context to:
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
We don't see the issue under mls because the default initrc_context is:
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023
We've traces this back through the selinux-policy src RPM and to the
upstream refpolicy and see that config/appconfig-mcs/initrc_context is:
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0
whereas config/appconfig-mls/initrc_context is:
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0-mls_systemhigh
So under mls init's context is SystemHigh, but under mcs/targeted it
doesn't have any categories.
So the long question is should config/appconfig-mcs/initrc_context really
be:
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:mcs_systemhigh
as it seems odd that the more secure mls policy would run init at
SystemHigh but targeted doesn't.
Thanks

file creation and selinux
by Ed Greshko
Hi,
I'm not well versed in selinux and I rarely have run into issues with it.
However, one point that I thought was true doesn't seem to be true. I was under the
impression that when a file is created and the context for it is defined in the policy it
would acquire it.
For example,
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ pwd
/home/egreshko
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ touch .fetchmailrc
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ls -Z .fetchmailrc
unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 .fetchmailrc
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ restorecon .fetchmailrc
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ls -Z .fetchmailrc
unconfined_u:object_r:fetchmail_home_t:s0 .fetchmailrc
Shouldn't the context have been correct when the file was created? How is an average user
to know they may need to add the additional step.
Thanks
