Description Moez Roy 2015-08-09 18:27:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing dnssec-triggerd from 'module_request' accesses on the system Unknown.

*****  Plugin disable_ipv6 (53.1 confidence) suggests   **********************

If you want to disable IPV6 on this machine
Then you need to set /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 to 1 and do not blacklist the module'
Do
add 
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
to /etc/sysctl.conf


*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests   ******************

If you want to allow domain to kernel load modules
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'domain_kernel_load_modules' boolean.
You can read 'None' man page for more details.
Do
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

*****  Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that dnssec-triggerd should be allowed module_request access on the Unknown system by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep dnssec-triggerd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Moez Roy 2015-08-09 18:37:32 UTC 
dnssec-triggerd ignores net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf

You can reproduce this by putting "ipv6.disable=1" in the kernel command line.

Doing 'setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1' would reduce the security provided by SELinux so it is not an option.

Would appreciate a fix. Thanks.
Comment 2 Tomáš Hozza 2015-11-12 15:09:51 UTC 
Dnssec-trigger uses standard system socket API and checks for failures. If the IPv6 is not available, the call should fail and dnssec-trigger can cope with it. This has been discussed in upstream and nobody thinks that Unbound, dnssec-trigger, nor any other tool should read the system configuration files or paths and make decisions whether to use IPv6 or not, based on this.

If you are not happy with kernel loading the module, please work with the Kernel maintainers on resolving the fact that kernel tries to load IPv6 module even though you've disabled it.

If you are not happy with the SELinux, please work with the SELinux developer.

There is nothing to change or improve from Unbound's or dnssec-trigger's point of view.
