Thank you for that - the difference was phenomenal!
At first it didn't seem to do anything because it was a bash script, not
x11vnc, that was running ps. However, I read the x11vnc manual again and
finally realized how to make it run ps for me.
Once I had made the change the AVCs reduced from several hundred to a large
handful.
(Removing your myvnc.pol policy returned it to producing hundreds of AVCs
again)
So I ran sealert and audit2allow again and produced two more policies.
Would it be possible to optimize them further knowing what they are trying
to do, or at least combine the policy for x11vnc into the existing
myvncpol? (I still haven't worked out the syntax of these things so I
can't do it myself yet)
The policies created were as follows:
# grep \"x11vnc\" /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M myx11vncpol
Gave:
module myx11vncpol 1.0;
require { type tcpd_t; type var_log_t; type passwd_file_t; type
shell_exec_t; type admin_home_t; type tmpfs_t; type xserver_exec_t; class
dir search; class shm { write unix_read unix_write read destroy create };
class file { write getattr read open execute execute_no_trans }; }
#============= tcpd_t ============== allow tcpd_t admin_home_t:dir search;
allow tcpd_t admin_home_t:file { read getattr open }; allow tcpd_t
passwd_file_t:file { read getattr open }; allow tcpd_t self:shm { write
unix_read unix_write read destroy create }; allow tcpd_t shell_exec_t:file
{ execute execute_no_trans }; allow tcpd_t tmpfs_t:file { read write };
#!!!! The source type 'tcpd_t' can write to a 'file' of the following
type: # tcpd_tmp_t
allow tcpd_t var_log_t:file { write open }; #!!!! This avc is allowed in
the current policy
allow tcpd_t xserver_exec_t:file execute;
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
(x11vnc_sh is the bash file that calls x11vnc)
# grep x11vnc_sh /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M myx11vnc_shpol
Gave:
module myx11vnc_shpol 1.0;
require { type tcpd_t; type bin_t; type passwd_file_t; type proc_t; type
xdm_var_run_t; type xserver_exec_t; class dir search; class file { execute
read open getattr execute_no_trans }; }
#============= tcpd_t ============== allow tcpd_t bin_t:file { execute
execute_no_trans }; allow tcpd_t passwd_file_t:file { read getattr open };
allow tcpd_t proc_t:file { read getattr open }; allow tcpd_t
xdm_var_run_t:dir search; allow tcpd_t xdm_var_run_t:file read; allow
tcpd_t xserver_exec_t:file execute_no_trans; #!!!! This avc is allowed in

allow tcpd_t xserver_exec_t:file { read execute open };
In case it helps I will include the sealert messages below. If it doesn't
help there is no need to continue reading

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/bash from execute access on the file
/usr/bin/bash.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests
***************************
If you believe that bash should be allowed execute access on the bash file
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 x11vnc_sh /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M
mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp

Well I am happy it is working for you, but we prefer the solution to get
tcpd_t to transition to xserver_t, when running x11vnc.
Which hopefully will be showing up in an update release.
