Description Jakob Ullmann 2015-11-08 03:18:41 UTC
Description of problem:
I was just trying to print a document... Nothing special here, the problem occurred repeatedly over the last days.
SELinux is preventing hpfax from 'open' accesses on the chr_file /dev/bus/usb/001/038.

*****  Plugin restorecon (90.5 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/dev/bus/usb/001/038 default label should be usb_device_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /dev/bus/usb/001/038

*****  Plugin device (9.50 confidence) suggests   ****************************

If you want to allow hpfax to have open access on the 038 chr_file
Then you need to change the label on /dev/bus/usb/001/038 to a type of a similar device.
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE '/dev/bus/usb/001/038'
# restorecon -v '/dev/bus/usb/001/038'

*****  Plugin catchall (1.40 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that hpfax should be allowed open access on the 038 chr_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 hpfax /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2015-11-20 09:50:34 UTC
Are you able to reproduce it? If so, could please check labeling of usb device for which you get AVC?

ls -Z /dev/bus/usb/001/<dev_number>
