Where is this file located? Why does it have this context? Files in /lib/firmware should be labeled lib_t. restorecon the file to see if it fixes the label in the /lib/firmware directory, i have: lrwxrwxrwx root root system_u:object_r:lib_t v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg -> /lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg then in /lib/modules, i have: -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:modules_object_t v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg i'm guessing that, due to the symlink having a different (the proper) context, but the actual file in /lib/modules having the wrong context -- that's why the issue exists. manually changing the context to lib_t in /lib/modules allows the firmware to be loaded. should i report this to the packager and have him change the context of the actual file in /lib/modules to lib_t, or is there a better way to manage this? I guess the question to ask is why is this file stored in /lib/modules? If it is not a kernel module it should be installed in /lib/firmware and everything would just work. Seeing as though this issue is "fixed" when the context lib_t is applied, I consider it closed from the Fedora end and have reported it to the ivtv package maintainer: http://bugzilla.atrpms.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1274 |
Description of problem: Aug 30 10:41:41 mythtv-fe1 kernel: audit(1188488355.106:9): avc: denied { read } for pid=1183 comm="firmware_helper" name="v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg" dev=sda3 ino=4570792 scontext=system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:modules_object_t:s0 tclass=file Aug 30 10:41:41 mythtv-fe1 kernel: ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg (must be 155648 bytes) Aug 30 10:41:41 mythtv-fe1 kernel: ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory? Aug 30 10:41:41 mythtv-fe1 kernel: ivtv0: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350, card #0 I'm not sure if this firmware file should have a different context, or if the firmware_helper should be able to load it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targeted-2.6.4-38.fc7 -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:modules_object_t v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. modprobe ivtv 2. 3. Actual results: see above description Expected results: firmware_helper should be able to access and load firmware.
