Hey there,

I am currently implementing SELinux on one of my Gentoo systems and experiencing some smaller problems:

1. "neverallow" rules
When building modules using audit2allow, some rules are generated that lead to a compiler error, for example:
Code:
allow zabbix_agent_t fixed_disk_device_t:blk_file { read ioctl open };

or
Code:
allow kernel_t proc_kmsg_t:file { read open };

or
Code:
allow kernel_t shadow_t:file { read open };


The error looks like the following:
Quote:
Neverallow found that matches avrule at line 93 of /var/lib/selinux/strict/tmp/modules/100/storage/cil
Binary policy creation failed at line 3 of /var/lib/selinux/strict/tmp/modules/400/test/cil
Failed to generate binary
semodule: Failed!


Since /var/lib/selinux/strict/active/modules/100/storage/cil contains the line
Quote:
(neverallow storage_typeattr_1 fixed_disk_device_t (blk_file (read)))

the compiler throws an error.

I am now unsure how to deal with this rules.

2. When executing audit2allow -li /var/log/audit.log, I get the following errors:
Quote:

I assume, that this has to do with the next problem.

3. My syslog logs "SELinux: Context system_u:system_r:gcc_config_t would be invalid if enforcing" from time to time. This seems to happen independently from the occurring of the previous problem.

I have been searching the web for two weeks now, also a SELinux book could not help me to shed a light on this so far. Hence, any help would be really appreciated.

Best regards,
Jimini

Since I recently again got some of these errors, I googled - and found this thread. So I solved the problem with the neverallow rules by identifying processes, which violate against these conditions.
The other problems remain unsolved, so far.

Best Regards,
Jimini
