Description Miren Radia 2024-12-23 10:49:30 UTC
Description of problem:
This problem occurred after I updated to selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 41.27-1.fc41.

After I ran the DNF upgrade transaction which included this update, the post-transaction scriptlet for this package failed with an error message something like

SELinux:  Could not load policy file /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.33 Cannot allocate memory
...
libsemanage.semanage_reload_policy: load_policy returned error code xxx
...

(unfortunately I didn't save it so can't remember exactly what it said).

I thought the problem might be related to this failed scriptlet so I reinstalled the package and restarted but am still seeing these denials.
SELinux is preventing systemd-coredum from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities.

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

If you believe that systemd-coredum should have the sys_admin capability 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 'systemd-coredum' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemdcoredum
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemdcoredum.pp

I should add that the post-transaction scriptlet did not fail again when I reinstalled selinux-policy-targeted-41.27-1.fc41.noarch.
