Description Zdenek Pytela 2016-01-06 16:40:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
The stunnel program cannot write to a logfile because of selinux context, any attempt ends with an avc denial.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
stunnel-4.29-3.el6_6.1.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.7.19-279.el6_7.8.noarch


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "output = file" in stunnel.conf
2. Run stunnel

Actual results:
type=AVC msg=audit(1450711949.536:39519): avc:  denied  { search } for  pid=28935 comm="stunnel" name="log" dev=dm-0 ino=522773 scontext=system_u:system_r:stunnel_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1450711949.536:39519): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7f802d1ec7e0 a1=441 a2=1a0 a3=4 items=0 ppid=1419 pid=28935 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="stunnel" exe="/usr/bin/stunnel" 
etc.
in /var/log/audit/audit/log


Expected results:
No AVC denials

Additional info:
Logging using syslog works fine. The stunnel(8) manual page describes logging to an output file option as well:

output = file
  append log messages to a file instead of using syslog
  /dev/stdout device can be used to redirect log messages to the standard
  output (for example to log them with daemontools splogger).

so that we can expect that it also works without issues.

According to the stunnel_selinux(8) manual page, currently there is no log-type context associated nor there is a boolean to handle log files correctly.
Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2016-01-07 09:44:47 UTC 
Ok we can provide a new type - stunnel_log_t for these cases.

Comment 4 Milos Malik 2016-01-08 08:56:52 UTC 
selinux-policy in RHEL-7 does not define any type for stunnel log files either.
