Description Mark Tinberg 2018-03-12 15:30:35 UTC
Description of problem:
Applied most recent updates to F27 using GNOME Software Center, after reboot several utilites reported this error
Several utilities reported the same error after the most recent round of updates on F27

SELinux is preventing dmesg from 'map' accesses on the file /etc/ld.so.cache.

*****  Plugin restorecon (94.8 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/etc/ld.so.cache default label should be ld_so_cache_t.
Then you can run restorecon. The access attempt may have been stopped due to insufficient permissions to access a parent directory in which case try to change the following command accordingly.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/ld.so.cache

*****  Plugin catchall_labels (5.21 confidence) suggests   *******************

If you want to allow dmesg to have map access on the ld.so.cache file
Then you need to change the label on /etc/ld.so.cache
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/etc/ld.so.cache'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: dmesg_exec_t, fonts_cache_t, fonts_t, ld_so_cache_t, ld_so_t, lib_t, locale_t, prelink_exec_t, textrel_shlib_t.
Then execute:
restorecon -v '/etc/ld.so.cache'


*****  Plugin catchall (1.44 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that dmesg should be allowed map access on the ld.so.cache 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:
# ausearch -c 'dmesg' --raw | audit2allow -M my-dmesg
# semodule -X 300 -i my-dmesg.pp
