Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing plymouthd from using the 'dac_override' capabilities.

*****  Plugin dac_override (91.4 confidence) suggests   **********************

If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file with the wrong permissions on your system
Then attivare l'auditing completo per ottenere le informazioni del percorso del file incriminato e generare nuovamente l'errore.
Do

Attivare il controllo completo auditing
# auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w
Provare a ricreare AVC. Eseguire quindi
# ausearch -m avc -ts recent
Qualora si noti il record PATH, controllare la proprietà/i permessi sul file e correggerli,
altrimenti registrare un bugzilla.

*****  Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that plymouthd should have the dac_override capability by default.
Then si dovrebbe riportare il problema come bug.
E' possibile generare un modulo di politica locale per consentire questo accesso.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'plymouthd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-plymouthd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-plymouthd.pp

Hi, 

Do you observe some issues on your system, or you just reported this SELinux denial but systems looks generally ok?

I'm running in permissive mode so I can't give feedback on this.

I didn't see this happening anymore after this single event.

Comment 3 Lukas Vrabec 2018-05-22 07:32:46 UTC
Hi, 

Could you turn on full auditing and then reproduce the scenario and add logs from audit log?

Hi, I'm not able to reproduce on my system.

Comment 5 Lukas Vrabec 2018-05-24 12:40:55 UTC
Thank you for testing, if you'll be able to reproduce it, feel free to re-open this BZ. 

Lukas.
