Description Derek Ditch 2014-01-15 02:33:41 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux denying write access to rhsmcertd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Unknown. AVC Denial alert popped up on desktop, presumably after a routine check-in process. I just changed desktop to Gnome 3, but I doubt that is the cause.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 7
2. ...
3. Receive AVC Denial



Administrator bug output below:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from write access on the file /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo.

*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests   *******************

If you want to allow python2.7 to have write access on the redhat.repo file
Then you need to change the label on /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: afs_cache_t, cert_t, initrc_tmp_t, puppet_tmp_t, rhsmcertd_lock_t, rhsmcertd_log_t, rhsmcertd_var_lib_t, rhsmcertd_var_run_t, system_conf_t, user_cron_spool_t, var_lock_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v '/etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo'


*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed write access on the redhat.repo file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep rhsmcertd-worke /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

We believe this is due to

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-17722/selinux-policy-3.12.1-84.fc20

Moving it to selinux.
