I am currently writing a policy file for an application which listens to a particular port and also communicates with mysqld. During its start-up (from a script executed in init.d) I am getting the following AVCs: ================================= type=AVC msg=audit(1283028441.852:19): avc: denied { read } for pid=1868 comm="voip_sandbox" path="pipe:[11951]" dev=pipefs ino=11951 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file type=AVC msg=audit(1283028441.851:18): avc: denied { write } for pid=1866 comm="voip_sandbox" path="pipe:[11951]" dev=pipefs ino=11951 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1283028441.852:19): arch=40000003 syscall=3 per=400000 success=no exit=-13 a0=6 a1=9d58864 a2=94 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1866 pid=1868 auid=0 uid=496 gid=496 euid=496 suid=496 fsuid=496 egid=496 sgid=496 fsgid=496 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="voip_sandbox" exe="/usr/local/bin/voip_sandbox" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 key=(null) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1283028441.851:18): arch=40000003 syscall=4 per=400000 success=no exit=-13 a0=7 a1=bf894480 a2=94 a3=bf894480 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1866 auid=0 uid=496 gid=496 euid=496 suid=496 fsuid=496 egid=496 sgid=496 fsgid=496 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="voip_sandbox" exe="/usr/local/bin/voip_sandbox" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(1283028441.863:20): avc: denied { write } for pid=1866 comm="voip_sandbox" path="pipe:[11951]" dev=pipefs ino=11951 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1283028441.863:20): arch=40000003 syscall=4 per=400000 success=no exit=-13 a0=7 a1=bf8945c0 a2=94 a3=bf8945c0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1866 auid=0 uid=496 gid=496 euid=496 suid=496 fsuid=496 egid=496 sgid=496 fsgid=496 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="voip_sandbox" exe="/usr/local/bin/voip_sandbox" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:voip_sandbox_t:s0 key=(null) ================================= Both pids 1868 and 1866 are related and spawned by the main application. I take it there is a pipe which needs to be created and accessible to both processes. How do I find out what pipe it is (name, location) and how do I prevent this AVCs from happening?
