Fedora Security :: SELinux Macro Expansions Generating Numbers?

Mar 28, 2009

I have gotten over my inability to add SELinux users and am trying to write an SELinux module on my Fedora 10 machine, standard SELinux distribution. Most of it works just fine, but I've been having strange troubles with some policy interfaces--m4 expands them to numbers rather than valid SELinux policy language. Here's what I'm getting:

seutil_read_config($1_t) ---> 679
seutil_read_src_policy($1_t) ---> 1021
files_search_etc($1_t) ---> 1875

As far as I know all of these are valid policy interfaces (I've checked them up in their respective files, and they do exist and contain what appears to be valid policy). The last one I know because I went into seutil_read_src_policy and put its contents into the module rather than the macro itself. Now, I could do the same with files_search_etc, but really I'd like the top-level macro to just work. Does anyone know what is causing this problem? I'm certain I'm using correct syntax, unless there's a whitespace rule I'm not familiar with.

A secondary problem I have, generating warnings rather than errors, is that for some reason ' s are popping up in my expanded module, right after the end of expansions of some (but not all) macros that I've defined.

Fedora Security :: Generating Password Hashes Compatible With FC11/sha-512 Shadow File?

Jul 3, 2009

I've been trying to write php or perl code to generate the sha-512 password hashes in fedora. I've been unable to do the hashing which is encoded in the shadow file on fedora core 11. Does anyone have php or perl code which provides the hashing algorithm. (All of my attempts result in the encrypted hashing being longer than 86 character -- the length that crypt says the sha-512 should be)

Fedora Security :: SELinux Context For Cgi-bin?

Oct 20, 2010

I'm attempting to get MapServer running on my Fedora 13 computer. I was able to install with the package manager, and the executable (mapserv) was originally placed in /usr/sbin. But I need it in /var/www/cgi-bin to work on the webserver. So I copied the file to the right location. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the correct SELinux context. Here's the message from the troubleshooter:

SELinux denied access requested by /var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv. /var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv is mislabeled. /var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv default type is httpd_sys_script_exec_t, but its current type is httpd_sys_script_exec_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your problem.

How's that for circular logic? Does anyone have an idea what the correct SELinux context for a cgi-bin executable might be?

Fedora Security :: How To Enable The SELinux

Jan 17, 2011

My newly installed Fedora-14 (64-bit) has SELinux disabled. I can't find any way to enable it. I tried to set it manually in /etc/selinux/config to enforcing or permissive but nothing happens after reboot. In GUI configuration tool it is set to disabled and grayed out so that there is no way to enable it there. Is there another way to enable SELinux?

Fedora Security :: SELinux Not Enforcing?

I tried to log in to my xguest account and it asked for a password, which it shouldn't, so there's a problem with SELinux.When I type getenforce it says it is disabled, yet when I go to /etc/selinux and look at the config, it is in enforcing mode and not commented out, type is strict.When I go to the SELinux management GUI I can't change the current enforcing mode and it's set to disabled and default to enforcing.

Fedora Security :: SELinux Has Broken Bugzilla

Jul 19, 2010

I have recently upgraded from FC12 to FC13, and last week I updated all packages using YUM. The system is running as a VM inside CentOS 5.5 using KVM. SELinux is enforcing, using the targeted policy. Bugzilla is version 3.6.1 and was NOT installed using RPM or YUM.

Bugzilla was working OK on this machine until SELinux was upgraded last week from 3.7.19-28 to 3.7.19-33, and is still broken after testing 3.7.19-37 from the testing repo. With SELinux in enforcing mode, apache returns error 500 when I browse to the main bugzilla page. The apache error log shows this:-

Code:
[Mon Jul 19 13:15:08 2010] [error] [client 192.168.40.1] (13)Permission denied: exec of '/var/www/html/bugzilla/index.cgi' failed
Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is recorded in /var/log/audit/audit.log, /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure.

Fedora Security :: SELinux Warning On Rkhunter?

Mar 17, 2011

i get this warning from selinux :

"SELinux is preventing /bin/mailx from append access on the file /var/lib/rkhunter/rkhcronlog.OmRFCZOynG."

I tried to fix it by "# /sbin/restorecon -v /var/lib/rkhunter/rkhcronlog.OmRFCZOynG" as suggested by SELinux but it comes back with another warning, but with a different /rkhcronlog.xxxxxxxxx...

i think its just a way of rkhunter logging issue -. attached here is the actual error message by selinux.

Fedora Security :: SELinux Policy Changing In 15

Jul 24, 2011

I need to change SELinux policy to permissive and then back to enforced for an installation. I understand that I should be able to do that through the SELinux Administration window accessed through System -> Administration ->SELinux Management. But I do not have any real sysadmin tools available in my Fedora 15 Gnome Gui interface. Am I missing something, or should I use some sort of similar command line tool to do this?

Fedora Security :: SELinux - Update Stopped Printing

Mar 6, 2009

I know very little about SE Linux and I've heard that in some situations it's better to disable it. For a home user, is it important? Does it improve your life ? or does it get in the way ?

Last week some update stopped my printing and I had to install the new hplip from HP because it wasn't in the Fedora repos to correct the problem. I don't know if SELinux had anything to do with it, but today when I disabled SELinux a few minutes later I get a star up on the toolbar and when I clicked on it it mentioned something about hplip. It wouldn't make any sense to me but maybe this has happened to others.

Fedora Security :: How To Create A Totally New SELinux User

Jun 4, 2009

Currently working on the targeted policy, I need a help in doing the following things as quick as possible:

1- How to create a totally new SELinux user (not mapping new linux user to SELinux user) I want a new user with no roles or with a maximum of 1 role. I also need how to compile the new user so I can used it for mapping users. At the time, I've tried creating a new file inside /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/users similar to the other users inside this directory, but it did not actually seem to appear when using the command semanage to list SELinux users : semanage user -l
2- How to create a totally new SELinux role (empty for now) ? and how to make the relation between this new role and domains or types.
3- How to create new domain, actually following some old instructions I created the .fc and .te files, but not the .if file, which is more complicated than the other 2 file.

Fedora Security :: Restricting Xattr Flags With Selinux ?

Jul 12, 2009

I've got a question about chattr command. is it possible to restrict a root access for this command. what i want is something similar to freebsd behaviour aka the kernel secure level. setting a particular security level results in limiting some operations (i.e changing immutable flags on files) by root. well, if someone gained an access to a machine in some way, nothing would stop him changing the file's flags. so the question is if it can be achieved with selinux?

Fedora Security :: SElinux Apache Upload Denied

Jun 22, 2010

I want to be able to created directories and upload files (images mostly) via a php web page. The directory structure is a throwback to windows and I really really don't want to have to change it because there are so many files/links already there.

/cust/cust_name/site/version/web (all html/php files go here)

I want to be able to edit the files with a 3rd party tool (SSH based). These are small orgs, like my church, local community club, sports team, etc., so file ownership needs to sync with the editor, not apache.

Fedora Security :: Wrong SELinux Context On /etc/sudoers?

Nov 21, 2010

I'm suspicious that the context of /etc/sudoers is wrong. During the last upgrade to Fedora 14, RPM dropped /etc/sudoers.rpmnew, which had a different context than the real sudoers file. But, when I try to get SELinux to relabel the file (using restorecon or fixfiles), it refuses to make a change.

> ls -lZ /etc/sudoers
-r--r-----. root root unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 /etc/sudoers

Fedora Security :: Get A Server Up And Running With SELinux Fully Enabled?

Mar 19, 2009

I decided that I'd torture myself and try to get a server up and running with SELinux fully enabled. I so far have figured out virtual hosting, vsftpd, and SSH to work with it nicely, but I can't figure out what to do to get AWstats to be viewable through a browser with SELinux enabled. This is what I get from /var/log/messages:

Code:
Mar 19 15:09:34 localhost kernel: type=1400 audit(1237496974.987:69): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=4769 comm="httpd" path="/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl" dev=sda1 ino=1267968 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_awstats_script_exec_t:s0 tclass=file

Could someone explain to me what I should be looking for in these messages? Or what I would need to do to fix it?

Fedora Security :: SElinux Fails To Start Filesystem Relabel

Sep 10, 2009

I recently made a custom spin of fedora on 29th August 2009. It initially failed to go past the slash screen but a solution was found here on fedora forum. It included adding the following to kernel line in grub.

enforcing=0

I later checked SElinux and found the option to do a filesystem relabel at next boot was enabled. I rebooted the system without adding the above words "enforcing=o" and it got stuck after the the splash screen (the blue screen with a fedora bubble). I then did some more research on SElinux and filesystem relabelling. There were several comments that said that a notice is given in the event of a filesystem relabel. I went to the konsole and as root I wrote the following commands:

touch /.autorelabel
reboot

I gave my pc 20Hrs 48min and nothing happened. My HDD is 80GB but it only had 7.5GB of data. There were no messages that indicated that the filesystem relabel was in progress or even if it had started. I also tried the following command but failed:

make relabel

I have now had to edit grub.conf and added the words "enforcing=0" as it is the only way the system will go passed the splash screen.
