SELinux is preventing qemu-system-x86 from 'read' accesses on the directory images.

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

If you want to allow qemu-system-x86 to have read access on the images directory
Then you need to change the label on images
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'images'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: alsa_etc_rw_t, bin_t, boot_t, cert_t, device_t, devpts_t, dosfs_t, etc_runtime_t, etc_t, fonts_cache_t, fonts_t, home_root_t, hugetlbfs_t, lib_t, locale_t, man_cache_t, man_t, net_conf_t, proc_t, public_content_rw_t, public_content_t, qemu_var_run_t, root_t, shell_exec_t, src_t, svirt_home_t, svirt_image_t, svirt_tmp_t, svirt_tmpfs_t, sysfs_t, system_conf_t, system_db_t, textrel_shlib_t, tmp_t, tmpfs_t, usbfs_t, user_tmp_t, usr_t, var_run_t, var_t, virt_cache_t, virt_content_t, virt_home_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v 'images'


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

If you believe that qemu-system-x86 should be allowed read access on the images directory 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 qemu-system-x86 /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Lukas Vrabec 2016-04-25 09:04:00 UTC
Hi, 

Could you attach output of 
# ls -Z /var/lib/libvirt/

I believe /var/lib/libvirt/images has mnt_t label which is wrong. Could you use
# restorecon -Rv /var/lib/libvirt/images 

to fix wrong labels.
