Originally audit2allow used the avc: allowed message generated by auditallow statement for load_policy to identify policy reloads. Later it was switched to use the MAC_POLICY_LOAD events generated by the audit framework. Those events should still get logged via printk if auditd is not running, but it appears that the code (audit_printk_skb) will then log the type= field as an integer rather than a string, and audit2allow/sepolgen only looks for the string MAC_POLICY_LOAD. So I suspect that this would be resolved by modifying sepolgen/audit.py to also match on type=1403 for load messages. Try this: Signed-off-by: Joshua Brindle <method@manicmethod.com> |
