[PATCH V2 1/2] target: fix selinux error when systemd-modules loads the target module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the systemd-modules service loads the target module, the credentials
of that userspace process will be used to validate the access to the
target db directory.
selinux will prevent it, reporting an error like the following:

kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1676301082.205:4): avc: denied  { read }
for  pid=1020 comm="systemd-modules" name="target" dev="dm-3"
ino=4657583 scontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_modules_load_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:targetd_etc_rw_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0

Fix the error by using the kernel credentials to access the db directory
