sepolgen requires unofficial setools patch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi guys,

It looks like the current stable sepolgen release has requirements towards
an unofficial (well, fedora/rhel only) patch on setools. With the current
stable setools, it gives the following error when trying to use audit2allow
on a denial that contains write & open:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/audit2allow-2.7", line 354, in <module>
   app.main()
 File "/usr/bin/audit2allow-2.7", line 345, in main
   self.__output()
 File "/usr/bin/audit2allow-2.7", line 315, in __output
   g.add_access(self.__avs)
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sepolgen/policygen.py", line 211, in add_access
   self.__add_allow_rules(raw_allow)
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sepolgen/policygen.py", line 179, in __add_allow_rules
   self.domains = seinfo(ATTRIBUTE, name="domain")[0]["types"]
NameError: global name 'seinfo' is not defined

The patch that RedHat (and Fedora) provides fixes this in Python 2 systems,
but doesn't work in Python 3 (because Python 3 has a different setup for
Extension-based modules). I have a locally-tested patch on that, but I'm not
sure this is a good way to go forward.

Perhaps it would be wise to remove the dependency towards the setools
binding and instead include the necessary code in the userspace libraries
themselves? policygen.py doesn't require the entire set of querying that
seinfo provides...

The patch that is suggested by RedHat/Fedora doesn't follow the same
structure as the other bindings do (like libqpol/libapol) in setools too.

Wkr,
	Sven Vermeulen
