kudzu (kmodule) and /dev/zero: latest rawhide issues....

[Tom London]

Latest rawhide packages, kudzu has problems with /dev/zero
and /dev/mem

kudzu generates:

Nov  7 17:20:13 fedora kernel: audit(1099847973.501:0): avc:  denied 
{ read } for  pid=826 exe=/sbin/kmodule name=zero dev=tmpfs ino=3510
scontext=system_u:system_r:kudzu_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:zero_device_t tclass=chr_file
Nov  7 17:20:13 fedora kernel: audit(1099847973.501:0): avc:  denied

scontext=system_u:system_r:kudzu_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:zero_device_t tclass=chr_file

after fixing this, it fails on mmap of /dev/zero, so need to
also add execute.

Here's a patch:

 allow kudzu_t scsi_generic_device_t:chr_file r_file_perms;

But, it now produces:

tcontext=system_u:object_r:memory_device_t tclass=chr_file

Adding 
allow kudzu_t memory_device_t:chr_file { read write };
produces 

/usr/bin/checkpolicy:  loading policy configuration from policy.conf
security:  5 users, 6 roles, 1323 types, 31 bools

assertion on line 269956 violated by allow kudzu_t
memory_device_t:chr_file { read write };
make: *** [/etc/selinux/strict/policy/policy.18] Error 1

Some help, please?

thanks,

"head -269956 policy.conf |tail -1" gives the following:
neverallow { domain -privmem } memory_device_t:{ chr_file blk_file } { read 
write append };

The solution is to add the privmem attribute to the declaration of kudzu_t:
daemon_base_domain(kudzu, `, etc_writer, privmodule, sysctl_kernel_writer, 
fs_domain, privmem')

Thanks, but this seems not to quite get it all:

Nov 23 06:05:21 fedora kernel: audit(1101189873.496:0): avc:  denied 
{ execute } for  pid=824 path=/dev/zero dev=tmpfs ino=3517
scontext=system_u:system_r:kudzu_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:zero_device_t tclass=chr_file
Nov 23 06:05:21 fedora kernel: audit(1101189873.497:0): avc:  denied 
{ execute } for  pid=824 path=/dev/zero dev=tmpfs ino=3517
scontext=system_u:system_r:kudzu_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:zero_device_t tclass=chr_file

Is this mmap() again?
