Description Mr Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart 2026-08-23 13:07:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
Observe https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2521586#c0.
SELinux is preventing exe from 'open' accesses on the file /tmp/storage-run-962/containers/overlay-containers/b2b2991e82a8b10a0c2bb8d72e9a4ff9f9d228c6434da38e574522d9b5d4b4b2/userdata/hosts.

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

If you believe that exe should be allowed open access on the hosts 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 'exe' --raw | audit2allow -M my-exe
# semodule -X 300 -i my-exe.pp
