Description of problem:
Red Hat's SELinux policy does not seem to allow users to access X's
DRI device.  Here is a log of an attempt to run glxgears:

May 30 22:51:55 imp kernel: audit(1085975515.923:0): avc:  denied  {
getattr } for  pid=3781 exe=/bin/bash path=/usr/games dev=dm-0
ino=136677 scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:games_data_t tclass=dir
May 30 22:51:55 imp kernel: audit(1085975515.924:0): avc:  denied  {
read } for  pid=3781 exe=/bin/bash name=games dev=dm-0 ino=136677
scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:games_data_t
tclass=dir

Glxinfo says:

[...]
direct rendering: No
[...]

until I do a "echo 0 > /selinux/enforce.  Once SELinux is not longer
enforcing its policy, glxinfo says:

[...]
direct rendering: Yes
[...]

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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to query DRI as a user with glxinfo when SELinux is enforcing Red
Hat's policy.

Reassigning to "policy" component.

Comment 2 Alan Cox 2004-06-19 12:34:32 UTC
This is probably correct behaviour. DRI clients can read the X display
which might be an issue in a highly secure setup.


Comment 3 Russell Coker 2004-09-28 13:42:02 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-default-1.17.21-1.
