SELinux : audit2allow Basic Usage2023/02/20 |
|
Using [audit2allow] command, it's possible to generate SELinux policy allow rules easily from logs of denied operations.
However, [audit2allow] may allow more access than required,
so it's better to configure with [restorecon] or [chcon] command in cases.
By the way, if [audit2allow] is none on your System, Install with [dnf install policycoreutils-python-utils].

| [1] | Display denial reasons to read log files. If not specified any log file, audit2allow reads [/var/log/audit/audit.log]. If specify log files, set [-i logfile] option instead [-a] option. |

# display reason for AVC denials from reading audit.log [root@dlp ~]# audit2allow -w -a
type=AVC msg=audit(1646973275.750:211): avc: denied { name_bind } for pid=2764 comm="httpd" src=83 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:reserved_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0
Was caused by:
Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule.
You can use audit2allow to generate a loadable module to allow this access.

| [2] | Generate allow rule like follows. |

# for example, generate [test_rule] module [root@dlp ~]# ausearch -m AVC --start 03/10/2022 12:00:00 --end 03/11/2022 18:00:00 | audit2allow -a -M test_rule ******************** IMPORTANT *********************** To make this policy package active, execute: semodule -i test_rule.pp # install module with the command displayed above [root@dlp ~]# semodule -i test_rule.pp
# make sure the module is loaded [root@dlp ~]# semodule -l | grep test_rule test_rule |

That's OK in some cases, but for other cases, it's not yet.
If not yet, run [audit2allow] again and make sure the causes. |
