What to do when a selinux policy doesn't work?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]




Hi,

I'm getting log file entries about ejabberd not being able to remove files that were uploaded by client through the file upload facility of XMPP. With the help of audit2allow, I have already created and installed some selinux modules to solve such issues, and still files can't be expired.

So I used


grep '/srv/data/ejabberd' /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -w


to find out what might cause this, and the answer is:


type=AVC msg=audit(1606302910.314:2905): avc: denied { open } for pid=18687 comm="8_dirty_io_sche" path="/srv/data/ejabberd/[...]" dev="md100" ino=166 scontext=system_u:system_r:ejabberd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1

        Was caused by:
                Unknown - would be allowed by active policy
Possible mismatch between this policy and the one under which the audit message was generated.

Possible mismatch between current in-memory boolean settings vs. permanent ones.


I have reloaded the policies with 'semodule -R', and that didn't change anything. The files in question seem to have the correct attributes like:


ls -laZ /srv/data/ejabberd/[...]
-rw-r--r--. 1 ejabberd ejabberd system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 1384362 Nov 25 12:15 /srv/data/ejabberd/[...]


Ejabberd is supposed to expire files when they are older than desired, and selinux prevents it. How can I solve this problem other than by disabling selinux or by deleting the files manually?
