Hi, I have a CGI script which ought to have some special permissions. In particular, it ought to invoke a certain command as a certain user. To achieve that, I have created an entry in the sudoers file, which allows the httpd user to invoke the command without a password. Now my CGI script does a sudo -u mp /u2/mp/mpbin/mpfak 001 where mp is the special user, mpfak is the necessary command and the remaining part is the mp programs argument. However, when the program is invoked, then I see the following message in syslog: May 26 07:49:21 fibudbserver kernel: audit(1148622561.696:14): avc: denied { setrlimit } for pid=31749 comm="sudo" scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tclass=process May 26 07:49:21 fibudbserver kernel: audit(1148622561.699:15): avc: denied { setgid } for pid=31749 comm="sudo" capability=6 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tclass=capability May 26 07:49:21 fibudbserver kernel: audit(1148622561.699:16): avc: denied { setuid } for pid=31749 comm="sudo" capability=7 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tclass=capability May 26 07:49:21 fibudbserver kernel: audit(1148622561.700:17): avc: denied { search } for pid=31749 comm="sudo" name="/" dev=sda5 ino=2 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=dir May 26 07:49:21 fibudbserver kernel: audit(1148622561.700:18): avc: denied { setgid } for pid=31749 comm="sudo" capability=6 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tclass=capability May 26 07:49:21 fibudbserver kernel: audit(1148622561.700:19): avc: denied { setuid } for pid=31749 comm="sudo" capability=7 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tclass=capability I must admit, that I do not even understand whether I ought to change my scripts permissions or the "sudo" programs. I do hesitate to do either. Can anyone please advice me how to continue? For example, I might as well invoke sudo from a wrapper script and change that scripts permissions. Question is: How would I do that? Regards, Jochen -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
