Description Jason Tibbitts 2018-04-26 20:20:01 UTC 
I happened to take a look at the audit logs for my two public Fedora mirrors today and found hundreds of thousands of of the following denials:

type=AVC msg=audit(1524757500.315:63341066): avc:  denied  { map } for  pid=29361 comm="httpd" path="/srv/mirror/pub/fedora-buffet/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/o/openmx-data-3.8.1-9.el7.noarch.rpm" dev="bcache0" ino=32664828575 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:public_content_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

I can't tell when this started because the audit log fills completely in a few hours as it happens for every URL accessed.  I figure someone would have reported it by now if it was a common occurrence but my bugzilla searching failed to turn anything up.  All I see in the policy with sesearch -A -s httpd_t -t public_content_t is:

allow httpd_t file_type:dir { getattr open search };
allow httpd_t file_type:filesystem getattr;
allow httpd_t public_content_t:dir { getattr ioctl lock open read search };
allow httpd_t public_content_t:file { getattr ioctl lock open read };
allow httpd_t public_content_t:lnk_file { getattr read };

so maybe this is another instance where the map privilege needs to be added?  I see that, assuming I can use sesearch correctly, map is allowed for httpd_sys_content_t and user_home_t (with the appropriate boolean set).  I'm not sure why public_content_t would be different.

I am currently running selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.32.fc27.noarch from updates-testing.
Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2018-04-26 20:26:34 UTC 
I should add that doing the following quiets things down, in case someone else runs into this:

echo "(allow httpd_t public_content_t (file (map)))" > /tmp/httpd-quiet.cil
semodule -i /tmp/httpd-quiet.cil
Comment 2 Todd Zullinger 2018-04-26 22:05:22 UTC 
I'm not entirely sure if a more limited map interface for public_content_t is needed or if adding this to the existing miscfiles_read_public_files interface is reasonable.

This diff is against the rawhide branch of the https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy repo.  I filed it as https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/213 in the hope that it helps speed up a fix.
Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2018-04-30 17:41:33 UTC 
I'm not sure if the changes in the 3.13.1-283.34 package were supposed to help with this, but I did test that package and found that the denials are still present.
