Package: selinux-policy-default Version: 2:2.20110726-12 Severity: normal Hi,
Having decided to give a test at SElinux, I have installed a debian 6.0 and later upgraded to 7.0. As recommended on the wiki, I first did a boot with selinux in permissive mode to see if there is potential errors, and found several AVC. On boot, it seems something is running dmesg in a confined domain : [ 11.562532] type=1400 audit(1367756552.570:6): avc: denied { read } for pid=626 comm="dmesg" name="locale.alias" dev=sda1 ino=394340 scontext=system_u:system_r:dmesg_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file [ 11.562557] type=1400 audit(1367756552.570:7): avc: denied { open } for pid=626 comm="dmesg" name="locale.alias" dev=sda1 ino=394340 scontext=system_u:system_r:dmesg_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file [ 11.562617] type=1400 audit(1367756552.570:8): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=626 comm="dmesg" path="/etc/locale.alias" dev=sda1 ino=394340 scontext=system_u:system_r:dmesg_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file And domain system_u:system_r:dmesg_t:s0 cannot read /etc/locale.alias, as that file is not labeled to something special. I assume that it should be labeled locale_t, since dmesg has access to that domain : # sesearch -s dmesg_t -A -c file -t locale_t Found 1 semantic av rules: allow dmesg_t locale_t : file { ioctl read getattr lock open } ; There is however no side effect to the AVC, except noise. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages selinux-policy-default depends on: ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-7.1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libsepol1 2.1.4-3 ii policycoreutils 2.1.10-9 ii python 2.7.3-4 Versions of packages selinux-policy-default recommends: ii checkpolicy 2.1.8-2 ii setools 3.3.7-3 Versions of packages selinux-policy-default suggests: pn logcheck <none> pn syslog-summary <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/selinux/default/modules/active/file_contexts.local [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/selinux/default/modules/active/file_contexts.local' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
