[[Category:Fedora 12 Test Days]]

Latest revision as of 06:24, 26 December 2014

DATE TIME WHERE
Tue Oct 20, 2009 ALL DAY #fedora-test-day)

What to Test?[edit]

Today's Fedora Test Day will focus on SELinux Confined Users - users which are assigned to a SELinux role and where the SELinux policy controls what the user can do/access on the system. Current confined user types with their purpose of use are:

user role terminal login xwindows login network exec in homedir setuid notes
guest_u yes no no no no
xguest_u yes yes no* no no * only Firefox
user_u yes yes yes no no
staff_u yes yes yes yes no* * sudo allowed
kiosk user yes yes no no no No password required. Home directory and /tmp get destroyed on logout.
confined admin yes yes yes yes yes Able to manage only a predefined set of services.

The purpose of test day is to test these SELinux users in usual/specific use cases.

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion.

  • Development: dwalsh, mgrepl
  • Quality: mmalik, ebenes

What's Needed to test[edit]

  • You will need a fully updated Rawhide, Fedora 12 Beta or the Rawhide nightly Live Image
  • You will need following packages installed on the machine. Please run yum install PACKAGE as root to install them and check that their versions match:
    • selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.32-24.fc12
    • policycoreutils-gui-2.0.74-4.fc12
    • setroubleshoot-2.2.37-1.fc12
    • audit-2.0.1-1.fc12
    • xguest-1.0.7-7.fc12
  • The content of /var/log/messages will be useful during testing and reporting issues. Connect to your test system and prepare the system for gathering output using the commands below:
echo > /var/log/audit/audit.log
service auditd restart
service messagebus start
service restorecond restart
setenforce 1
tail -f /var/log/messages
No production testing
Please do not use production machine for this testing.

Live Image[edit]

You may download a non-destructive rawhide live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD.

How to Test[edit]

The main goal is to test whether chosen confined user is able to do things which are allowed considering his/her SELinux role. And whether chosen confined user is not able to do things which are not allowed considering his/her role. For example if you log in as xguest_u and try to run ping or sudo in your favourite terminal you won't be able to run it. But if you won't be able to run Firefox then probably this is a bug.

If you usually use another web browser than Firefox, please continue to do so during the test day. Our intent is to test at least one program from each of the following groups:

  1. mail clients (mutt, alpine etc.)
  2. editors (vim, emacs, nano etc.)
  3. networking tools (ping, traceroute etc.)
  4. FTP clients
  5. web browsers
  6. audio / video players
  7. samba mounting / tools
  8. NFS mounting / tools
  9. Java apps
  10. office apps
  11. printing / scanning tools
  12. photo / camera manipulation
  13. CD/DVD reading / writing
  14. IM clients
  15. flash players

Issues found during the test day will help us to improve SELinux policy in future Fedora releases and derived distributions (e.g. RHEL and CentOS).

audit.log upload
Be so kind and upload your /var/log/audit/audit.log after you finish the testing. Please leave a reference to it in the following table. This action is optional but it will help us not to forget/miss any of possible AVC messages.
User audit.log references

How to Report Problems[edit]

If you encounter problems (e.g. appl. A did not start, appl. B failed to do what you wanted, appl. C works only partially), try the following before filing a bug

  1. Permissive mode - switch to permissive mode (setenforce 0) and repeat your action. If SELinux denied your action in enforcing mode, it won't deny your action in permissive mode. Do not forget to switch back to enforcing mode (setenforce 1) before next testing. Root shell is needed.
  2. ausearch - Run ausearch as advised below to see if new AVC messages appeared. Root shell is needed.
  3. fpaste.org - Make the AVC message public via http://fpaste.org/ . Add a short description what you did and what happened or did not happen. Please increase the default expiry time to 1 day, because the default is 1 hour.
  4. IRC - Communicate with others on IRC channel to find out if they encountered the same problem. It's likely that someone on IRC channel knows the solution or already reported the problem.
  5. sealert - Look at the end of /var/log/messages and search for messages containing sealert. Run sealert with parameters as advised. Root shell is needed.
  6. Bugzilla - Lastly, file a bug in Red Hat Bugzilla. Be sure to set the following attributes: Product: Fedora, Version: rawhide, Component: selinux-policy. Alternatively, follow this link to file a bug against selinux-policy. Do not forget to supply the description of actions you did, the AVC message and the full output of sealert.
Before filing...
Do not file a bug if the user you are testing now is by the SELinux role prevented from doing certain things (e.g. guest_u is prevented from using network, staff_u is prevented from running su). The actions you are trying to do under userX must make sense considering the SELinux role of the userX.

Here is an example how to display AVCs which arose since a specific time:

  1. START_DATE_TIME=date "+%m/%d/%Y %T"
  2. do something as confined user
  3. ausearch -m AVC -ts $START_DATE_TIME

Test Cases[edit]

Here you can find a few test cases. Please run as many of them as possible. Below each test case you can see a table, where you should write your results. Please add a line with your username and list of tests you ran/skipped into the table. The table could look this way:

guest_u[edit]

User capabilities
Terminal login, nosetuid, nonetwork, noxwindows, noexec in home directory

As root set up a server only machine, with Apache service (yum install httpd). Configure Apache in such a way that user home directories are accessible. Make sure Apache service is running (service httpd start). Add an user which can log in as guest_u (useradd -Z guest_u USERNAME). Create a directory named /secrets. Install MySQL (yum install mysql-server). Make sure MySQL service is running (service mysqld start) and the database is world readable.

Log in to the machine and try the following:

  • Good Test - try to behave correctly
    1. Edit files in home directory.
    2. scp files to home directory and public_html directory.
    3. Copy files to public_html directory.
    4. Verify that the content is viewable via Apache.
  • Bad Test - try to do evil
    1. Try to ping off the machine.
    2. Try any network protocol, try to get off the machine (ssh, mail, rsh, telnet etc.)
    3. Copy an executable into home directory and try to execute it.
    4. Try to read a file in the /secrets directory.
    5. Try to read the MySQL database (mysqlshow).
