This is a mislabeled file. Miroslav these lines should be removed from vmware.fc /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin32/vmware.* -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:vmware_host_exec_t,s0) /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmware.* -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:vmware_host_exec_t,s0) Derick, if you execute chcon -R -t bin_t /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin32/ chcon -R -t bin_t /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/ It should fix it until the policy is updated. Thanks Daniel. Hopefully a restorecon wont get run in the interim. ;) Fixed in selinux-policy-3.5.13-45.fc10 This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Description of problem: Running VMWare Tools within a Fedora 10 OS in a VMWare-Server-2 Guest VM I get the following policy violation: Summary: SELinux prevented mount from mounting on the file or directory "./vmware-hgfsmounter" (type "vmware_host_exec_t"). Detailed Description: SELinux prevented mount from mounting a filesystem on the file or directory "./vmware-hgfsmounter" of type "vmware_host_exec_t". By default SELinux limits the mounting of filesystems to only some files or directories (those with types that have the mountpoint attribute). The type "vmware_host_exec_t" does not have this attribute. You can either relabel the file or directory or set the boolean "allow_mount_anyfile" to true to allow mounting on any file or directory. Allowing Access: Changing the "allow_mount_anyfile" boolean to true will allow this access: "setsebool -P allow_mount_anyfile=1." Fix Command: setsebool -P allow_mount_anyfile=1 Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:vmware_host_exec_t:s0 Target Objects ./vmware-hgfsmounter [ file ] Source mount Source Path /bin/mount Port <Unknown> Host code.gnucash.org Source RPM Packages util-linux-ng-2.14.1-3.2.fc10 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.5.13-41.fc10 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_mount_anyfile Host Name code.gnucash.org Platform Linux code.gnucash.org 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 02:09:37 EST 2009 i686 athlon Alert Count 8 First Seen Wed 28 Jan 2009 03:42:12 PM EST Last Seen Sun 08 Feb 2009 11:25:39 AM EST Local ID 1cd66aaa-1d5c-4ad0-8451-2a0c3be13080 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=code.gnucash.org type=AVC msg=audit(1234110339.527:7): avc: denied { execute } for pid=2384 comm="mount" name="vmware-hgfsmounter" dev=dm-0 ino=1351680 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:vmware_host_exec_t:s0 tclass=file node=code.gnucash.org type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1234110339.527:7): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=no exit=-13 a0=bf926b60 a1=bf926b34 a2=1ca8520 a3=bf926b34 items=0 ppid=2383 pid=2384 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="mount" exe="/bin/mount" subj=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.5.13-41.fc10 How reproducible: Seems to happen all the time when the system boots up. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install vmware-tools 2. boot up the system 3. login 4. look at the audit logs Actual results: See the audit log above. Expected results: mount should be able to mount the vmware hgfs. Additional info:
