Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2008-11-18 16:35:17 UTC
What is this script doing?  Allowing kismet to load kernel modules is a bad idea.  Listening to random network traffic that causes kismet to change the kernel is a disaster waiting to happen.

I can give it.

corecmd_exec_shell(kismet_t)
And
kernel_read_system_state(kismet_t)

But if we need kernel modules loaded, we need a different way of doing this.

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 03:18:07 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

kismet in f12 behaves completely different than in previous versions and runs as unconfined_t afaik.  Do you really see all these AVCs?

Comment 9 Valent Turkovic 2010-03-08 18:52:07 UTC
Ups, you are right, kismet works ok now.
