Yesterday I began getting an "SELinux security alert" and Firefox began to operate erratically [became useless]. I did "setsebool -P squid_connect_any=1" per the alert and Firefox began to work again, however now this morning I am getting a similar notice although it appears to be making an exception. Do I need to take some further action to satisfy SELinux or will I continue to get this notice until some future update? Bob . Summary: SELinux is preventing the squid daemon from connecting to network port 8180 Detailed Description: [squid has a permissive type (squid_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux has denied the squid daemon from connecting to 8180. By default squid policy is setup to deny squid connections. If you did not setup squid to network connections, this could signal a intrusion attempt. Allowing Access: If you want squid to connect to network ports you need to turn on the squid_connect_any boolean: "setsebool -P squid_connect_any=1" Fix Command: setsebool -P squid_connect_any=1 Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:squid_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:port_t:s0 Target Objects None [ tcp_socket ] Source squid Source Path /usr/sbin/squid Port 8180 Host box6 Source RPM Packages squid-3.1.0.15-2.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-78.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name squid_connect_any Host Name box6 Platform Linux box6 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jan 18 19:52:07 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 33 First Seen Sun 07 Feb 2010 04:50:46 PM EST Last Seen Sun 07 Feb 2010 05:08:58 PM EST Local ID 87daf7bf-ecdf-4025-9780-520ef4d433f5 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=box6 type=AVC msg=audit(1265580538.758:20027): avc: denied { name_connect } for pid=1504 comm="squid" dest=8180 scontext=system_u:system_r:squid_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket node=box6 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1265580538.758:20027): arch=c000003e syscall=42 success=yes exit=4294967424 a0=e a1=7fd5727bb730 a2=1c a3=1c items=0 ppid=1502 pid=1504 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=23 euid=23 suid=0 fsuid=23 egid=23 sgid=23 fsgid=23 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="squid" exe="/usr/sbin/squid" subj=system_u:system_r:squid_t:s0 key=(null) -- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
