Description marek77 2025-08-25 07:03:14 UTC
Description of problem:
I *think* this is something to do with geoclue. I cannot find "pool-2" binary on my system, it's possibly generated on the fly by the geoclue service. The AVC denial seems to happen once after every boot. Journal showing this just after before the AVC denial:

systemd[1]: Started geoclue.service - Location Lookup Service.
SELinux is preventing pool-2 from 'getattr' accesses on the filesystem /dev/shm.

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

If you believe that pool-2 should be allowed getattr access on the shm filesystem 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 'pool-2' --raw | audit2allow -M my-pool2
# semodule -X 300 -i my-pool2.pp
