       logs of denied operations

       audit2why - translates SELinux audit messages into a description
       of why the access was denied (audit2allow -w)

Синопсис (Synopsis)

audit2allow [options]

Параметры (Options)

-a | --all
              Read input from audit and message log, conflicts with -i

       -b | --boot
              Read input from audit messages since last boot conflicts
              with -i

       -d | --dmesg
              Read input from output of /bin/dmesg.  Note that all audit
              messages are not available via dmesg when auditd is
              running; use "ausearch -m avc | audit2allow"  or "-a"
              instead.

       -D | --dontaudit
              Generate dontaudit rules (Default: allow)

       -h | --help
              Print a short usage message

       -i  <inputfile> | --input <inputfile>
              read input from <inputfile>

       -l | --lastreload
              read input only after last policy reload

       -m <modulename> | --module <modulename>
              Generate module/require output <modulename>

       -M <modulename>
              Generate loadable module package, conflicts with -o

       -p <policyfile> | --policy <policyfile>
              Policy file to use for analysis

       -o <outputfile> | --output <outputfile>
              append output to <outputfile>

       -r | --requires
              Generate require output syntax for loadable modules.

       -N | --noreference
              Do not generate reference policy, traditional style allow
              rules.  This is the default behavior.

       -R | --reference
              Generate reference policy using installed macros.  This
              attempts to match denials against interfaces and may be
              inaccurate.

       -x | --xperms
              Generate extended permission access vector rules

       -w | --why
              Translates SELinux audit messages into a description of
              why the access was denied

       -v | --verbose
              Turn on verbose output

Описание (Description)

This utility scans the logs for messages logged when the system
       denied permission for operations, and generates a snippet of
       policy rules which, if loaded into policy, might have allowed
       those operations to succeed. However, this utility only generates
       Type Enforcement (TE) allow rules.  Certain permission denials
       may require other kinds of policy changes, e.g. adding an
       attribute to a type declaration to satisfy an existing
       constraint, adding a role allow rule, or modifying a constraint.
       The audit2why(8) utility may be used to diagnose the reason when
       it is unclear.

       Care must be exercised while acting on the output of this utility
       to ensure that the operations being permitted do not pose a
       security threat. Often it is better to define new domains and/or
       types, or make other structural changes to narrowly allow an
       optimal set of operations to succeed, as opposed to blindly
       implementing the sometimes broad changes recommended by this
       utility.   Certain permission denials are not fatal to the
       application, in which case it may be preferable to simply
       suppress logging of the denial via a 'dontaudit' rule rather than
       an 'allow' rule.

Примеры (Examples)

NOTE: These examples are for systems using the audit package. If you do
       not use the audit package, the AVC messages will be in /var/log/messages.
       Please substitute /var/log/messages for /var/log/audit/audit.log in the
       examples.

       Using audit2allow to generate module policy

       $ cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -m local > local.te
       $ cat local.te
       module local 1.0;

       require {
               class file {  getattr open read };

               type myapp_t;
               type etc_t;
        };

       allow myapp_t etc_t:file { getattr open read };
       <review local.te and customize as desired>

       Using audit2allow to generate module policy using reference policy

       $ cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -R -m local > local.te
       $ cat local.te
       policy_module(local, 1.0)

       gen_require(`
               type myapp_t;
               type etc_t;
        };

       files_read_etc_files(myapp_t)
       <review local.te and customize as desired>

       Building module policy using Makefile

       # SELinux provides a policy devel environment under
       # /usr/share/selinux/devel including all of the shipped
       # interface files.
       # You can create a te file and compile it by executing

       $ make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile local.pp

       # This make command will compile a local.te file in the current
       # directory. If you did not specify a "pp" file, the make file
       # will compile all "te" files in the current directory.  After
       # you compile your te file into a "pp" file, you need to install
       # it using the semodule command.

       $ semodule -i local.pp

       Building module policy manually

       # Compile the module
       $ checkmodule -M -m -o local.mod local.te

       # Create the package
       $ semodule_package -o local.pp -m local.mod

       # Load the module into the kernel
       $ semodule -i local.pp

       Using audit2allow to generate and build module policy

       $ cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M local
       Generating type enforcement file: local.te

       Compiling policy: checkmodule -M -m -o local.mod local.te
       Building package: semodule_package -o local.pp -m local.mod

       ******************** IMPORTANT ***********************

       In order to load this newly created policy package into the kernel,
       you are required to execute

       semodule -i local.pp

       Using audit2allow to generate monolithic (non-module) policy

       $ cd /etc/selinux/$SELINUXTYPE/src/policy
       $ cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow >> domains/misc/local.te
       $ cat domains/misc/local.te
       allow cupsd_config_t unconfined_t:fifo_file { getattr ioctl };
       <review domains/misc/local.te and customize as desired>
       $ make load
