Re: cannot login using strict policy

Re: cannot login using strict policy

[JanuGerman]

Hi Karl,

Thanks for the response. I have to reboot with 'selinux=0' in order to diagnose the type of .bash_profile. It is 'root:object_r:user_home_t:s0'. This seems to me a problem, like every time, i will have to reboot with selinux=0, in order to get the attributes of the file. Plus one question regarding the unconfined_t. Is unconfined_t is changed to confined_t in strict policy mode?

Best,
JG

What is the type on /root/.bash_profile? Any avcs?

You should just be able to boot with enforcing=0, not selinux=0.  Or
even switch to permissive via setenforce 0 if you can login at least on
the console and newrole -r sysadm_r.

Under strict policy, users run in confined domains like user_t and
staff_t, and the user must newrole -r sysadm_r to enter the admin role.

The /root files should be labeled with sysadm_home_t, not user_home_t.
Look at /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs for
the /root entries.

i also had the same error when switching from targeted to strict.

i notice in avc that there are some deny errors:

avc: denied { search } comm="gconfd-2" name="root"
scontext=root:staff_r:staff_gconfd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=root:object_r:sysadm_home_dir_t:s0

i guess that this error is relative to the "permission denied" of
".bash_profile"

i find that "staff_gconfd_t" is generated by domain transition
from "staff_t" to "staff_gconfd_t". (defined in
gnome_per_role_template())

i wonder why "root" user role is staff_r when login through gdm,
and is sysadm_r when login in 3 level(through mingetty)

as stephen said, in strict policy, users should be run in user_t and
staff_t, and the "local_login_t" line in "users/root" indicate the
role of root is "sysadm_r", and the same line in "default_contexts"
indicate that the role of user is staff_r.

i am confused in above situations. what decide the role and domain of
user (normal users and root)?

thanks, Stephen

when i modify the "local_login_t" line in "users/root" to:

"
system_r:local_login_t:s0       sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 
user_r:user_t:s0
"

the role of root(login through non-[xgdw]dm, e.g. tty 2) is "sysadm_r"

but when i modify the "local_login_t" line in "default_contexts" to:

"
system_r:xdm_t:s0               sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 
user_r:user_t:s0
"

the role of root (login through gdm) is still staff_r. why?

i think the reason of "bash_profile deny error" is relative to the
"gconfd-2 avc error" message, because domains of "staff_r" have not
permission "search" root homedir, and then of course can not "perform
certain operation" in root HOME. As a result, root can not login
through gdm.

additionally,

in "xserver.fc", the path of gdm seems to be wrong in fedora, gdm in 
fedora locates in "/usr/sbin/gdm", same with debain
and ubuntu.

so the type of gdm in fedora, is "bin_t" not "xdm_exec_t", i modify
the "xserver.fc" in attachment patch.
please correct me if i am wrong

Likely because your policy doesn't allow xdm_t to transition directly to
sysadm_t; check your xdm_sysadm_login boolean.

/usr/sbin/gdm in fedora is a shell script that invokes the
real /usr/sbin/gdm-binary.  You don't want xdm_exec_t on the script,
only on the real binary.

yes.
after i had changed the "xdm_sysadm_login" booleans and
default_contexts, i can login throught gdm, because
sysadm_gconfd_t has search and other permissions on
root HOME dir.

but i don't understand why the default of xdm_sysadm_login
is false and the root role when login through xdm is staff?

if the role of root is staff_r, and the type of root HOME
dir is "sysadm_home_t", many programs, such as gconfd,
won't have enough permission to work well.

in a word, how can we fix the "xdm deny login" problem:
turn on the "xdm_sysadm_login" boolean, or change the
security context of root HOME dir?

i try the fc7 rawhide strict policy:

selinux-policy-strict-2.6.4-?.fc7
(i forget the last release number)

the type in /root security context is "user_home_t",
and have the same errors:"gconfd-2" has not search
permissions on /root, i.e. staff_gconfd_t hasn't
search permission on user_home_t. and when i login
by xdm, we have the same errors:
"/root/.bash_profile: permission denied"
(i have relabel after switching to the "fc official strict policy")

Because logging as root via X-Windows is considered a bad idea and 
should be discouraged.  Running a ton of X-Code as root/sysadm_r opens 
your system to tons of vulnerabilities.  Good security practice would be 
to log in as a normal user and use sudo/su to become root when you need 
to do administrative tasks.

i understand what you mean, you are right.

despite good security habit, if some administrators don't know this
point, they can not login as root through [kxg]dm in strict policy,
don't they?

i login as normal user through X window, but i got another
errors:

"Fails to execute program: /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon"

corresponding avc were:

type=AVC msg=audit(1180319582.421:32): avc:  denied  { execute } for
pid=1855 comm="dbus-daemon" name="gnome-settings-daemon" dev=sda1

tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 tclass=file

ino=215756 scontext=user_u:user_r:user_dbusd_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 tclass=file

i add two template call in dbus_per_role_template() to remove these tow
errors:

corecmd_exec_bin($1_dbusd_t)

additionally, there are still another erros about gnome-settings-daemon:

type=AVC msg=audit(1180319581.037:31): avc:  denied  { search } for
pid=1844 comm="dbus-daemon" name="yangshao" dev=sda1 ino=1407785
scontext=user_u:user_r:user_dbusd_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 tclass=dir

i user a interface to remove this denied error:

userdom_search_user_home_dirs($1,$1_dbusd_t)
(also in dbus_per_role_template())

after re-make and reboot, i got another errors:

"... /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon received singal 6..."

it seemed that gnome-settings-daemon received SIGABRT signal, and i found
an avc denied messages:

type=AVC msg=audit(1180493663.406:31): avc:  denied  { getsched } for
pid=1856 comm="gnome-settings-" scontext=user_u:user_r:user_dbusd_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_dbusd_t:s0 tclass=process

so i permit getsched of user_dbusd_t to try to fix this "signal 6" errors:

allow $1_dbusd_t self:process { getattr sigkill signal getsched };

but after adding this, gnome-settings-daemon exit with status 1 after
rebooting, and some avc denied messages came out:

type=AVC msg=audit(1180494884.832:87): avc:  denied  { search } for
pid=2112 comm="gnome-settings-" name=".X11-unix" dev=sda1 ino=327976
scontext=user_u:user_r:user_dbusd_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:xdm_tmp_t:s0 tclass=dir
type=AVC msg=audit(1180494884.840:88): avc:  denied  { create } for
pid=2112 comm="gnome-settings-" scontext=user_u:user_r:user_dbusd_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_dbusd_t:s0 tclass=netlink_route_socket
type=AVC msg=audit(1180494884.840:89): avc:  denied  { name_connect }
for  pid=2112 comm="gnome-settings-" dest=6000
scontext=user_u:user_r:user_dbusd_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:xserver_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket


i wonder are these errors caused by my modification, and how to make the
gnome-settings-daemon work???

thanks in advance

Re: cannot login using strict policy

[JanuGerman]

I have installed strict policy and then relabelled the files using 'fixfiles relablel' after rebooting with 'enforcing=0 single'. Every thing went well, but when i try to login, i get an error message that 
localuser:root being added to access control list
-/bin/bash: /root/.bash_profile: permission denied.
Any idea?
Best,
JG

I installed strict policy and then relabelled the files using 'fixfiles relablel' after rebooting with 'enforcing=0 single'. Every thing went well, but when i try to login, i get an error message that 

localuser:root being added to access control list
-/bin/bash: /root/.bash_profile: permission denied.

Any idea?
