Description Mark Wielaard 2009-07-27 11:06:38 UTC
Description of problem:

When trying to attach a dvd/cdrom to a running virtual machine you will get selinux denials and the cd doesn't show up in the guest.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-manager-0.7.0-5.fc11.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.10.5-3.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a running virtual machine details tab
2. Click on disk hdc
3. Click on connect and select a cdrom (/dev/sr0 in my case).
  
Actual results:

selinux denials, cd doesn't show in guest

Expected results:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing qemu-kvm (svirt_t) "getattr" removable_device_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by qemu-kvm. It is not expected that this access
is required by qemu-kvm and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2009-08-11 22:22:36 UTC
libvirt should have relabeled this to something svirt_t can read?
