Description Radek Valasek 2025-07-27 11:18:33 UTC
Description of problem:
Hello,

seems it started after latest update of 'selinux-policy' and 'selinux-policy-targeted' to version 42.2-1.fc42.

Here I am unsure it is correct warning or a bug.
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-oomd from 'watch' accesses on the sock_file /run/dbus/system_bus_socket.

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

If you believe that systemd-oomd should be allowed watch access on the system_bus_socket sock_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 'systemd-oomd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemdoomd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemdoomd.pp
