Title:
selinux cloud-init-hotplugd.socket not having permissions to fifo
sockets
Status in cloud-init:
New
Status in CentOS:
Invalid
Bug description:
Initial cloud-init-hotplugd.socket has some undesirable interactions
with an enforcing SElinux system when trying to listen on a FIFO
socket.
Deploying on rocky linux 8.4 we can see SELinux errors preventing the cloud-init-hotplugd.socket from starting
from journalctl -b 0:
systemd[1]: cloud-init-hotplugd.socket: Failed to listen on sockets: Permission denied
systemd[1]: cloud-init-hotplugd.socket: Failed with result 'resources'.
systemd[1]: Failed to listen on cloud-init hotplug hook socket.
...
setroubleshoot[772]: SELinux is preventing systemd from add_name access on the directory hook-hotplug-cmd. For complete SELinux messages run: sealert -l 8969a264-6637-489a-a329-0aafc0b8ee3a
setroubleshoot[772]: SELinux is preventing systemd from add_name access on the directory hook-hotplug-cmd.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************
If you believe that systemd should be allowed add_name access on the hook-hotplug-cmd 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:
# ausearch -c 'systemd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemd.pp
