Hi there,
I'm getting a problem when logging in on a console on a RHEL5 box, I am
suspecting that the problem is somewhere in pam_selinux.so
I'm not sure if it's a misconfiguration of mine, or a bug...
I'm using:
RHEL5, with
pam-0.99.6.2-3.14.el5
libselinux-1.33.4-2.el5
selinux-policy-2.4.6-67.el5
With the default pam options, pam_selinux is unable to get the user
context, and so there is no transition when a user logs in on the
console, and they end up in the "system_u:system_r:local_login_t" context
Relevant line in /etc/pam.d/login:
session required pam_selinux.so open verbose debug
The console login with default pam options:
...
testhost login: root
Password:
Security Context (null) Assigned
Last login: Thu Jun 21 07:04:28 on tty1
[root@testhost ~]# id -Z
system_u:system_r:local_login_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
And here is the syslogged debug info:
Jun 21 05:27:28 testhost login: pam_unix(login:session): session opened
for user root by LOGIN(uid=0)
Jun 21 05:27:28 testhost login: pam_selinux(login:session): Open Session
Jun 21 05:27:28 testhost login: pam_selinux(login:session): Username=
root SELinux User = root Level= s0-s0:c0.c1023
Jun 21 05:27:28 testhost login: pam_selinux(login:session): Warning!
Could not get new context for /dev/tty1, not relabeling: Invalid argument
Jun 21 05:27:28 testhost login: pam_selinux(login:session):
usercon=(null), prev_context=system_u:object_r:tty_device_t
Jun 21 05:27:28 testhost login: pam_selinux(login:session): Security
Context (null) Assigned
Jun 21 05:27:28 testhost login: pam_selinux(login:session): set root
security context to (null)
Jun 21 05:27:28 testhost login: ROOT LOGIN ON tty1
However if I change pam_selinux to use the select_context option, then
it *does* correctly determine the default context:
So changing /etc/pam.d/login:
session required pam_selinux.so open verbose select_context debug
And now the console login:
testhost login: root
Password:
Default Security Context root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
Would you like to enter a different role or level? [n]
Security Context root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh Assigned

I saw the same bug in Fedora a while ago, and it was a bug in
pam_selinux. Dan, is there an update for RHEL5?

Looks like this is bug 229542, and fixed in pam-0.99.6.2-3.15.el5.
Don't know about official RHEL5 update status, but there are some rpms

That's it - I updated pam, and it's no longer a problem.
Thanks for the help.
