From a95798aa08acf7561bdb6200db36526c75daa66d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maurizio Lombardi Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 15:39:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] scsi: target: Fix SELinux error when systemd-modules loads the target module [ Upstream commit 97a54ef596c3fd24ec2b227ba8aaf2cf5415e779 ] If the systemd-modules service loads the target module, the credentials of that userspace process will be used to validate the access to the target db directory. SELinux will prevent it, reporting an error like the following: kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1676301082.205:4): avc: denied { read } for pid=1020 comm="systemd-modules" name="target" dev="dm-3" ino=4657583 scontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_modules_load_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:targetd_etc_rw_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Fix the error by using the kernel credentials to access the db directory Signed-off-by: Maurizio Lombardi Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240215143944.847184-2-mlombard@redhat.com Reviewed-by: Mike Christie Signed-off-by: Martin K.
