Description Milos Malik 2024-10-23 07:01:38 UTC
The gnome_remote_desktop_t is defined as permissive, which means that no actions are really blocked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get a Fedora rawhide machine (targeted policy is active)
2. install both gdm and gnome-remote-desktop packages
3. start the gnome-remote-desktop service (possible failure can be ignored)
4. grdctl --system vnc enable
5. grdctl --system rdp enable
6. search for SELinux denials
Actual Results:
