My test PHP script can read /etc/sysctl.conf but not /etc/rsyslog.conf. For both no rule are found (sesearch above). So, why the script can read sysctl.conf?
Because almost no apache servers would normally be walking through /etc reading configuration files. Do you scripts actually need to read these config files?
Normally, sure - but a malicious developer (or attacker) will do. So, I'm evaluating different approaches to secure our platform. Its possible to limit fs access in PHP but this comes with a massive performance penalty.
Well, I do not want to discuss that all "etc_t" files can be read but why sysctl.conf with "system_conf_t" type can be read where it shouldn't??
Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

We allow apache and all domains to read all of what we define as base_ro_file_type types.
sesearch -A -s httpd_t -t system_conf_t -p read allow domain base_ro_file_type:dir { getattr ioctl lock open read search }; allow domain base_ro_file_type:file { getattr ioctl lock open read }; allow domain base_ro_file_type:lnk_file { getattr read }; allow httpd_t base_ro_file_type:file { execute execute_no_trans getattr ioctl lock map open read };
The base_ro_file_types are files executables that we consider part of the OS. So reading them should not reveal secrets. If you feel that these files should not be part of the base_ro_files then we should open that for discussion.
