Hi all,

I have some AVC in the logs and wonder how to resolve this: Under
EL8 (enforcing SElinux) I have /var/lib/php/session mounted as tmpfs.


# tail -1 /etc/fstab
tmpfs  /var/lib/php/session  tmpfs
defaults,noatime,mode=770,gid=apache,size=16777216,context="system_u:object_r:httpd_var_run_t:s0"

  0 0

# df -a |grep php
tmpfs              16384       0     16384    0% /var/lib/php/session

# ls -laZ /var/lib/php/session
insgesamt 0
drwxrwx---. 2 root apache system_u:object_r:httpd_var_run_t:s0 40 24.
Jul 15:36 .
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root   system_u:object_r:httpd_var_lib_t:s0 68  7.
Jul 10:54 ..


the applications can read the session data without any problems.



When I reboot the system following AVC appears:

# last |grep ^re|head -3
reboot   system boot  4.18.0-193.6.3.e Fri Jul 24 15:28   still running
reboot   system boot  4.18.0-193.6.3.e Fri Jul 24 13:33 - 15:27
(01:54)
reboot   system boot  4.18.0-193.6.3.e Fri Jul 24 01:20 - 13:33

I wonder about the "remount" and the comm="ostnamed".

I do not found any ostnamed application, the closest is hostnamed.

Should the tmpfs be mounted differently (without fstab entry)?

To get rid of the AVC I could add the corresponding policy
"allow init_t httpd_var_run_t:filesystem remount;" but is this
not a bit of overkill?

Any hints about what the cause is?

I'd really appreciate any ideas on this.

The latter is the standard selinux context. So I prefer to go with it.

umount /var/lib/php/session
restorecon -v -R /var/lib/php/

# LANG=C ls -laZ  /var/lib/php/session
total 8
drwxrwx---. 2 root apache system_u:object_r:httpd_var_run_t:s0 4096 May 7 04:39 .


mount /var/lib/php/session/
# LANG=C ls -laZ  /var/lib/php/session
total 4
drwxrwx---. 2 root apache system_u:object_r:httpd_var_run_t:s0 40 Jul 26 17:19 .


The application does NOT have any problems to write to this directory.

Its "just" the audit/AVC denys that are the issues ...

I'm not sure what triggers this remounts?
