Bug 521922

The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing vboxadd-service "read write" access on /dev/vboxadd.

Detailed Description:

[vboxadd-service has a permissive type (initrc_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by vboxadd-service. It is not expected that this
access is required by vboxadd-service 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) Please file a bug
report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

#============= initrc_t ==============
allow initrc_t xserver_misc_device_t:chr_file { read write };
