Sounds like it just stayed in crond's context since it failed the check
and the system was permissive. Naturally, in enforcing mode, it would
have not executed the job at all.
crond computes a context for the user's cron job in the usual manner,
then applies a entrypoint permission check between that context and the
file context on the crontab file (which gets picked up from a
combination of its creator and the parent directory). If that check
fails, then crond refuses to execute the crontab commands in that
process context. The check is intended to prevent injection of commands
from one context into another via crontab, unless authorized by policy
of course.
That's reasonable.
I'd have expected it to try to run the cron job in user_u:user_r:
user_crond_t:s0 since apache wouldn't have a specific entry in seusers.
So it would have wanted the crontab file to have user_cron_spool_t on
it, which would have happened if a user_t process created it. If
instead an admin created it and it got sysadm_cron_spool_t or
staff_cron_spool_t, that might explain it. So you could relabel it or
allow that permission. First though check the current label on the
crontab file.
Yes, you're right. That was precisely the cause.
I've used "crontab -e -u apache" as root.
The files in /var/spool/cron got sysadm_cron_spool_t type (the full
context was root:object_r:sysadm_cron_spool_t).
After running "fixfiles relabel /var/spool/cron/", the apache crontab
got system_u:object_r:user_cron_spool_t.
Now cron runs fine and doesn't log anything suspicious.
IMHO crontab should be modified to relabel crontab files that are edited
using the "-u" option, but this is a question to Dan - should I file a
new bug to bugzilla.redhat.com on this?
