SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from open access on the directory /var/www/html/updates. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label. /var/www/html/updates default label should be httpd_sys_content_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/www/html/updates ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that httpd should be allowed open access on the updates directory 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 httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Target Objects /var/www/html/updates [ dir ] Source httpd Source Path /usr/sbin/httpd Port Host marius.homelinux Source RPM Packages httpd-2.2.22-2.fc16.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-90.fc16.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name marius.homelinux Platform Linux marius.homelinux 3.4.4-4.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 5 20:01:38 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen Mon 30 Jul 2012 08:58:18 AM EDT Last Seen Mon 30 Jul 2012 09:48:30 AM EDT Local ID 64b33ecc-7dd0-4af0-b753-da769b4fc13b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1343656110.659:126): avc: denied { open } for pid=13506 comm="httpd" name="updates" dev="dm-1" ino=278541 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1343656110.659:126): arch=x86_64 syscall=openat success=no exit=EACCES a0=ffffffffffffff9c a1=7f43778e6b58 a2=90800 a3=0 items=0 ppid=13504 pid=13506 auid=4294967295 uid=48 gid=48 euid=48 suid=48 fsuid=48 egid=48 sgid=48 fsgid=48 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=httpd exe=/usr/sbin/httpd subj=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: httpd,httpd_t,user_home_t,dir,open audit2allow #============= httpd_t ============== #!!!!
