When the restorecon method was added to the libselinux swig python bindings, there was no libselinux restorecon implementation and it he had to call matchpathcon() which is deprecated in favor of selabel_lookup(). The new restorecon method uses selinux_restorecon method from libselinux and which is exported by the previous commit. https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/issues/29 Fixes: >>> selinux.restorecon('/var/lib', recursive=True) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.5/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py", line 114, in restorecon status, context = matchpathcon(path, mode) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Signed-off-by: Petr Lautrbach <plautrba@xxxxxxxxxx> --- libselinux/src/selinuxswig_python.i | 42 +++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/libselinux/src/selinuxswig_python.i b/libselinux/src/selinuxswig_python.i index a239f30..be17cef 100644 --- a/libselinux/src/selinuxswig_python.i +++ b/libselinux/src/selinuxswig_python.i @@ -19,31 +19,23 @@ DISABLED = -1 PERMISSIVE = 0 ENFORCING = 1 -def restorecon(path, recursive=False): - """ Restore SELinux context on a given path """ - - try: - mode = os.lstat(path)[stat.ST_MODE] - status, context = matchpathcon(path, mode) - except OSError: - path = os.path.realpath(os.path.expanduser(path)) - mode = os.lstat(path)[stat.ST_MODE] - status, context = matchpathcon(path, mode) - - if status == 0: - try: - status, oldcontext = lgetfilecon(path) - except OSError as e: - if e.errno != errno.ENODATA: - raise - oldcontext = None - if context != oldcontext: - lsetfilecon(path, context) - - if recursive: - for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path): - for name in files + dirs: - restorecon(os.path.join(root, name)) +def restorecon(path, recursive=False, verbose=False): + """ Restore SELinux context on a given path + + Arguments: + path -- The pathname for the file or directory to be relabeled. + + Keyword arguments: + recursive -- Change files and directories file labels recursively (default False) + verbose -- Show changes in file labels (default False) + """ + + restorecon_flags = SELINUX_RESTORECON_IGNORE_DIGEST | SELINUX_RESTORECON_REALPATH + if recursive: + restorecon_flags |= SELINUX_RESTORECON_RECURSE + if verbose: + restorecon_flags |= SELINUX_RESTORECON_VERBOSE + selinux_restorecon(os.path.expanduser(path), restorecon_flags) def chcon(path, context, recursive=False): """ Set the SELinux context on a given path """ -- 2.9.3 _______________________________________________ Selinux mailing list Selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, send email to Selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
