Description Mikhail 2025-07-17 09:42:10 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from 'getattr' accesses on the file /var/lib/lastlog/lastlog2.db.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/var/lib/lastlog/lastlog2.db default label should be var_lib_t.
Then you can run restorecon. The access attempt may have been stopped due to insufficient permissions to access a parent directory in which case try to change the following command accordingly.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /var/lib/lastlog/lastlog2.db

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that gdm-session-worker should be allowed getattr access on the lastlog2.db file 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 'gdm-session-wor' --raw | audit2allow -M my-gdmsessionwor
# semodule -X 300 -i my-gdmsessionwor.pp

This, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2381604 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2379871 are all pretty similar. openQA is hitting these on quite a lot of tests, bumping up our soft failure count.
