Description Kevin Fenzi 2017-11-15 19:35:46 UTC
Fedora Infrastructure uses nssdb auth... basically a client runs and makes /var/db/passwd.db /var/db/groups.db /var/db/shadow.db and uses them for local user auth. 

This fails with in f27 due to selinux denying map perms. 

We see the following avcs: 

type=AVC msg=audit(1510774476.166:22755112): avc:  denied  { map } for  pid=7149 comm="unix_chkpwd" path="/var/db/passwd.db" dev="dm-0" ino=24 scontext=system_u:system_r:chkpwd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:system_db_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0
type=AVC msg=audit(1510774476.166:22755113): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=7149 comm="unix_chkpwd" name="system_bus_socket" dev="tmpfs" ino=17705 scontext=system_u:system_r:chkpwd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:system_dbusd_var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file permissive=0

selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.16.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-5178e6a393

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2017-11-16 16:50:31 UTC
I'm still getting: 

type=AVC msg=audit(1510850953.112:24894140): avc:  denied  { map } for  pid=4146 comm="unix_chkpwd" path="/var/db/shadow.db" dev="dm-0" ino=1311591 scontext=system_u:system_r:chkpwd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shadow_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

with that one. Did you allow all of /var/db/passwd.db, /var/db/shadow.db, /var/db/group.db ?

Comment 18 Ben Cotton 2018-11-27 13:37:39 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version' of '27'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 19 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 23:41:54 UTC
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
