commit 6c30b43e6935ef82dc07dc56f4cbcb220ec814aa (HEAD -> rawhide, origin/rawhide, origin/HEAD)

    Add nnp transition rule for vnstatd_t domain using NoNewPrivileges systemd feature BZ(1643063)

Description of problem:
After upgrading from F28 to F29, this alert shows up right after boot and logging in to Gnome. And looking more closely, vnstat even fails to start:

horus# systemctl status vnstat
● vnstat.service - vnStat network traffic monitor
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vnstat.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

==== The boot log is full of SELinux alerts, for example:



$ sealert -l f416fb4d-0e0e-4c64-b9eb-46ad405f2325
/usr/bin/sealert:32: DeprecationWarning: Importing dbus.glib to use the GLib main loop with dbus-python is deprecated.
Instead, use this sequence:

    from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop

    DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)

  import dbus.glib
SELinux is preventing vnstatd from read access on the directory /var/lib/vnstat.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that vnstatd should be allowed read access on the vnstat 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:
# ausearch -c 'vnstatd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-vnstatd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-vnstatd.pp
