SELinux and Icinga

Today I ran into an SELinux problem when installing icinga. I followed their documentation "Adjusting the SELinux settings". However my cgis still would not run. When I ran,

Code:

cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -v

I received the following output,

Code:

#============= httpd_sys_script_t ==============
# src="httpd_sys_script_t" tgt="initrc_tmp_t" class="file", perms="{ read getattr open }"
# comm="tac.cgi" exe="" path=""
allow httpd_sys_script_t initrc_tmp_t:file { read getattr open };

I had to create a policy module and build it using the following commands...

Code:

cd /usr/local/src
mkdir icinga-selinux
cd icinga-selinux
audit2allow -M icinga-cgi -l -i /var/log/audit/audit.log

I removed icinga-cgi.pp and modified icinga-cgi.te to be the following.

Code:

module icinga-cgi 1.0;

require {
        type initrc_tmp_t;
        type httpd_sys_script_t;
        class file { read write getattr open };
}

#============= httpd_sys_script_t ==============
allow httpd_sys_script_t initrc_tmp_t:file { read getattr open };

I then proceeded to compile the module and install it.

Code:

checkmodule -M -m -o icinga-cgi.mod icinga-cgi.te
semodule_package -o icinga-cgi.pp -m icinga-cgi.mod
semodule -i icinga-cgi.pp

--------------------

I then had to compile a second module to get "reschedule next service check" working.

Code:

audit2allow -M icinga-schedule-cmd -l -i /var/log/audit/audit.log

Module Source.

Code:

module icinga-schedule-cmd 1.0;

require {
        type httpd_sys_script_t;
        type usr_t;
        class fifo_file getattr;
}

#============= httpd_sys_script_t ==============
allow httpd_sys_script_t usr_t:fifo_file getattr;

Compile and install module,

Code:

checkmodule -M -m -o icinga-schedule-cmd.mod icinga-schedule-cmd.te
semodule_package -o icinga-schedule-cmd.pp -m icinga-schedule-cmd.mod
semodule -i icinga-schedule-cmd.pp

I added the following lines to /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local

Code:

/usr/local/icinga/sbin(/.*)?  system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0
/usr/local/icinga/share(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
/usr/local/icinga/var(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0

After that submitting cmd.cgi (reschedule command checks) worked again.

	I forgot to mention but in my previous comment once I created the security contexts for Icinga I used the restorecon command on those three folders so that they work with SELinux. Code: restorecon -R /usr/local/icinga/sbin restorecon -R /usr/local/icinga/share restorecon -R /usr/local/icinga/var

Recently I compiled icinga-web. It requires the following security contexts to be appended to /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local

Code:

/usr/local/icinga-web/app(/.*)?  system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
/usr/local/icinga-web/lib(/.*)?  system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
/usr/local/icinga-web/pub(/.*)?  system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
/usr/local/icinga-web/app/cache(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0
/usr/local/icinga-web/log(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0

Now restore the contexts.

Code:

restorecon -R /usr/local/icinga-web
