After updating to geoclue 2.7.0 this morning, I'm getting SELinux alerts every few seconds: SELinux is preventing geoclue from watch access on the directory /etc. ***** Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to allow geoclue to have watch access on the etc directory Then you need to change the label on /etc Do # semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/etc' where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: geoclue_tmp_t, geoclue_var_lib_t. Then execute: restorecon -v '/etc' ***** Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that geoclue should be allowed watch access on the etc 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 'geoclue' --raw | audit2allow -M my-geoclue # semodule -X 300 -i my-geoclue.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:geoclue_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 Target Objects /etc [ dir ] Source geoclue Source Path geoclue Port <Unknown> Host fedora Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-38.9-1.fc38.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-38.9-1.fc38.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name fedora Platform Linux fedora 6.2.8-300.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Mar 22 19:29:30 UTC 2023 x86_64 Alert Count 13 First Seen 2023-03-30 11:01:38 EDT Last Seen 2023-03-30 11:02:26 EDT Local ID 1ef86eed-f172-403d-b405-9020e8963978 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1680188546.386:445): avc: denied { watch } for pid=31145 comm="gmain" path="/etc" dev="dm-0" ino=269 scontext=system_u:system_r:geoclue_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Hash: geoclue,geoclue_t,etc_t,dir,watch
