Description of problem: I get a SELinux alert on boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targeted-44.9-1.fc44.noarch bootupd-0.2.35-1.fc44.x86_64 How reproducible: Seems to happen at every boot (at least) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have Fedora atomic (Silverblue in my case) installed 2. Boot 3. Have a look at logs Actual results: SELinux Alert Browser mentions an error to me and recommends: > You should report this as a bug. > You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. > Allow this access for now by executing: > # ausearch -c 'bootupctl' --raw | audit2allow -M my-bootupctl > # semodule -X 300 -i my-bootupctl.pp Expected results: No SELinux denials should have happened Additional info: Output from SELinux Alert Browser, "Details" window: ========== SELinux is preventing bootupctl from read access on the directory /proc. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /proc default label should be default_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 /proc ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that bootupctl should be allowed read access on the proc directory 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 'bootupctl' --raw | audit2allow -M my-bootupctl # semodule -X 300 -i my-bootupctl.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:bootupd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:proc_t:s0 Target Objects /proc [ dir ] Source bootupctl Source Path bootupctl Port <Unknown> Host [removed] Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-44.9-1.fc44.noarch Local Policy RPM Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name [removed] Platform Linux [removed] 7.2.5-200.fc44.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Sep 11 15:11:05 UTC 2026 x86_64 Alert Count 33 First Seen 2026-08-23 16:01:05 CEST Last Seen 2026-09-19 09:55:26 CEST Local ID b9e5cf22-d80e-4351-9813-dea4bee2c568 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1789804526.625:108): avc: denied { read } for pid=1007 comm="bootupctl" name="/" dev="proc" ino=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:bootupd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:proc_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1 Hash: bootupctl,bootupd_t,proc_t,dir,read
