Bug 91812 – sys-apps/dbus & sys-apps/hal can support SELinux.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hi,

sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 defines wrongly the path to it's proper contexts file related with SELinux:

(...)
  <include ignore_missing="yes">system-local.conf</include>

  <include if_selinux_enabled="yes" selinux_root_relative="yes">contexts/dbus_contexts</include>

</busconfig>
(...)

It should be simply:

<include if_selinux_enabled="yes" selinux_root_relative="yes">dbus_contexts</include>

Also, dbus_contexts must be installed. Currently, dbus_contexts is available within the NSA SELinux (upstream) policy tarball, in ./appconfig/dbus_contexts.

Cheers,
Lorenzo.

Desktops are not currently supported with SELinux.  That being said, this is not likely the correct solution for this problem.  The correct way for determining the directory that dbus_contexts exists in is by using the libselinux function selinux_contexts_path().  I have not looked at the dbus code, but from what is listed below, I doubt that the listed fix is anything but a workaround.  Also, in the future, dbus_contexts would be supplied by the dbus policy ebuild, so the file should not be added to the dbus ebuild.

dbus can support SELinux but needs a $(use_enable selinux) or whatever USE flag you guys have. And testing from you guys.

added to dbus-0.60-r3 and hal-0.5.5.1-r3.
