Description of problem:

Multiple AVC errors on first boot.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-36.5-1.fc36.noarch
Fedora-Cloud-Base-36-20220405.n.0.x86_64.raw

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the image, check for AVC errors
2.
3.

Actual results:

Apr 08 05:08:21 fedora audit[810]: AVC avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=810 comm="sss_cache" path="pipe:[18908]" dev="pipefs" ino=18908 scontext=system_u:system_r:sssd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:cloud_init_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file permissive=0

Expected results:

I expect no AVC denials on first boot of a cloud image

Additional info:

# find / -inum 18908
/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/wakeup/wakeup28/uevent
/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/modules/100/jetty/cil
# find / -inum 18909
/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/wakeup/wakeup28/subsystem
/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/modules/100/jetty/hll
# find / -inum 18910
/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/wakeup/wakeup28/device
/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/modules/100/jetty/lang_ext


I can't tell there are any consequences for these denials.

Comment 1 Zdenek Pytela 2022-04-08 07:21:30 UTC
Chris,

Do you happen to know at which moment this denial appears?

Comment 2 Chris Murphy 2022-04-08 16:30:56 UTC
Created attachment 1871474 [details]
journal.log

Happens right as cloudinit starts up. While it does happen on the first boot of the image using virt-install, it doesn't happen for subsequent boots, but the journal for these boots also doesn't show cloud-init running.
