Selinux denial on clamd

[Watts M.R.]

Data flow is:  Squid -> c-icap (via TCP) -> c-icap virus_scan module -> c-icap clamd_mod module

c-icap's TmpDir is set to /var/tmp so my guess is that its c-icap which is writing the object to scan to the CI_TMP file which it then passes to its virus_scan module which ultimately gets passed to clamd through the clamd_mod c-icap module. I can't tell this explicitly from the documentation at [1] though so this is just an educated guess.

Mark.

Does it not work without permissive mode?

Looks like a stdout redirection or leaked file descriptor.

Do you have something like

script << _EOF
command
command
comand
_EOF

Where clamd is running as one of the commands?

Or some other tmp file being created in /var/tmp/CI_TMP

Which is being passed on to clamd

I’m currently trying to integrate Squid, c-icap and clamd together to get A/V scanning of objects through squid on a CentOS 6.5 server.

I have things working but every time I try and download the eicar.com test virus, I see the following in the logs:

type=AVC msg=audit(1410534437.751:227204): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=22480 comm="clamd" path="/var/tmp/CI_TMP_DaewkQ" dev=dm-1 ino=182 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:antivirus_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:initrc_tmp_t:s0 tclass=file

For the record, this server has been hardened according to the CIS CentOS 6.5 benchmark document.

/tmp and /var/tmp are mounted as so, if this matters:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-tmp on /tmp type ext4 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/tmp on /var/tmp type none (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,bind)

If I set “semanage permissive -a clamd_t” then everything works.


Audit2allow suggests I need the following, but I’m not really understanding why:

allow antivirus_t initrc_tmp_t:file write;


Any guidance?

Mark.
