SELinux enabled + rsync + Permission denied (13)

[Sachin Gaikwad]

Hi all,

I am running a daemon process (C++ program) on RHEL 6.6 with SELinux
enabled. This process eventually executes "rsync" to do file-copy
operation. It is failing with following error:

---------------------------------*8<*
--------------------------------------------

rsync: change_dir "/home/foobar/source/" failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: ERROR: cannot stat destination "/mnt/other_volume/testData":
Permission denied (13).

---------------------------------*8<*
--------------------------------------------

Question: Why is rsync failing with this error? I checked permissions of
"source" and "target" and both have permissions for the user.

Other testing data:

1) I tested this with "SELinux" disabled and rsync succeeds.

2) I tested this with "SELinux" enabled and launching process from
terminal. In this case "rsync" works fine. So, it looks like it is
something to do with "SELinux permissions" to process which do not have tty?

3) On other system RHEL 6.8, SELinux enabled, process as daemon: rsync
works fine. I compared SELinux configuration of both these systems, but
couldn't find anything to reason it out. If you need, I can attach SELinux
configurations.

Thanks in advance,

Sachin

Hi Sachin,

Before looking into the policy differences between the two systems... Is
there any reason you're not patching the RHEL6.6 system?

If if all works under RHEL6.8 then patching the RHEL6.6 system could get
your daemon working.

Cheers

Phil

To start troubleshooting a SELinux problem i normally start with the
aureport.

To get AVC message report about what has been blocked by SELinux within
the last 10min:
sudo aureport --avc --start recent

Detailed messages for the last 10min:
sudo ausearch -m USER_AVC,AVC,SELINUX_ERR --start recent

so the easiest solution is maybe upgrade to EL 6.8 and get all the
current (including *security*) updates?

Do you have SELinux policy for that daemon?

Your daemon runs in some SELinux domain and this domain doesn't have 
access to /home/foobar/source and /mnt/other_volume/testData.

Could you reproduce the scenario and then attach output of:
# ausearch -m AVC -ts recent

There is a difference between run daemon using "service" command and run 
it from terminal.

If you run it from terminal, in most cases daemon will inherit user 
SELinux domain, which is in "99%" unconfined_t domain. SELinux is not in 
game when you run it from terminal.

Okay, I would say issue will be in old policy from RHEL-6.6, but if 
you'll attach AVCs, we can create workaround for you.

Sorry for late response on this one. Here is the AVC output when rsync

We have two rsync booleans that could take care of this

rsync_export_all_ro - Allow rsync to export any files/directories read only

or

rsync_full_access  - Allow rsync server to manage all files/directories on the system

I tried setting "rsync_full_access" boolean on RHEL 6.6 system - I get this
error:

[bash]# setsebool -P rsync_full_access 1

[Mladen Sekara]

RHEL 6 policy does not come with "rsync_full_access" boolean.

Have you tried "rsync_export_all_ro"?

It covers the AVCs you submitted previously:
allow rsync_t user_home_dir_t : dir { ioctl read getattr lock search 
open } ;
allow rsync_t initrc_tmp_t : dir { ioctl read getattr lock search open } ;

However, I would suggest to get your system up-to date.
