There seems to be a slew of avcs again lately, many of which are over net_admin which we now have many custom modules for. Below are the yet new ones after rebooting a system today. By the way, I'm sure there is away to tell when you no longer need the customized modules. Some fixes come quickly and we know that we can remove a module. In general they hang around until the next system upgrade where we start from scratch. There are a couple that we have not fixed or thought we had fixed. We have the below rule in a custom module for rsyslod already but saw this on the reboot. #============= syslogd_t ============== allow syslogd_t proc_net_t:file read; The issue seems to be involved with Gnome, not quite what we customize to fix the issue. #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t default_t:lnk_file read; module junk 1.0; require { type sendmail_t; type syslogd_t; type default_t; type xdm_t; type var_yp_t; type sshdfilter_t; type ypbind_t; type passwd_file_t; type proc_net_t; type httpd_t; class process execmem; class capability net_admin; class tcp_socket create; class file read; class lnk_file read; class dir search; } #============= httpd_t ============== #!!!! This avc can be allowed using the boolean 'httpd_execmem' allow httpd_t self:process execmem; #============= sendmail_t ============== allow sendmail_t self:capability net_admin; #============= sshdfilter_t ============== allow sshdfilter_t passwd_file_t:file read; allow sshdfilter_t self:tcp_socket create; allow sshdfilter_t var_yp_t:dir search; #============= syslogd_t ============== allow syslogd_t proc_net_t:file read; #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t default_t:lnk_file read; #============= ypbind_t ============== allow ypbind_t proc_net_t:file read; ---- time->Thu Dec
