Bug 187468 – semodule segfaults while emergeing selinux-policies for several applications

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Antoine Kaufmann 2007-08-02 07:22:52 UTC]

Every time when I try to emerge selinux policies (ie. selinux-apache or selinux-bind), libsemanage tells me, that a subprocess did not exit successful, but the emerege finishes normaly, but the policy isn't loaded, into the module store. When I watch the logs during the installation, I can see two semodule-processes segfaulting. I tried to debug it, but i couldn't reproduce the problem by calling semodule manually.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge selinux-apache
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I only tried to emerge the policy on my new gentoo-hardened on an AMD64-platform with hardened gcc-3.4.6 and PaX-patches in the kernel. There are error messages during the emerge-process => attachment emerge.log
In kern.log there are some error messages to => kern.log

Expected Results:  
It should't segfault? ;-)



When I tried to fix this error I reemerged all the packages twice to be sure, that they're all compiled with the selinux USE flags, but that didn't change anything.
It seems a bit strange to me, that I couldn't reproduce this error by calling smeodule manually. When I try to load the policy with `semodule -i /usr/share/selinux/strict/apache.pp' there aren't any segfaults and the policy is installed correctly.
