Summary: SELinux blocks failtoban https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495267 Summary: SELinux blocks failtoban Product: Fedora Hosted Projects Version: unspecified Platform: i686 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: Security_Guide AssignedTo: mhideo@xxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: somedamfool@xxxxxxxxx QAContact: mmcallis@xxxxxxxxxx CC: fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx Classification: Fedora Description of problem: SELinux interfering with failtoban Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible:With failtoban enabled SELinux generates an error every 5-10 seconds. I had over 9600 errors in about 24 hours. Summary: SELinux is preventing gam_server (fail2ban_t) "read" to ./rpm (rpm_var_lib_t). Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by gam_server. It is not expected that this access is required by gam_server and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for ./rpm, restorecon -v './rpm' If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.
