SELinux Policy(AVC) - CentOS 6 and Plesk 11.0.9

Postby xeont » Wed Jun 26, 2013 4:39 am

Hi,

I just want to know, is it safe to Allow this,

Code: Select all
type=AVC msg=audit(1371040560.733:21059): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=9890 comm="sshd" path="/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" scontext=system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket


Please advise.

Regards,
Xeont

The risk here is a bug in sshd that allowed a hacker to get limited control, would allow them to attempt to communicate with your mysql database.

Of course if you have a hacked sshd, this might be the least of your worries.

What is plesk? Is this some kind of authorization database that sshd is using? If yes we might want to add a boolean to allow sshd to communicate with mysql databases.

Plesk is a hosting control panel.

Then why would this trigger sshd to connect to mysql port, or is this a red herring?
