Bug 527003

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #527002 +++

Description of problem:
SELinux consistently blocks qemu in virt-manager from running image, even after fixes applied multiple times.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-system-x86-0.10.6-5.fc11
selinux-policy-3.6.12-83.fc11

How reproducible:
Start virtual machine.  Watch hang on boot from virtual hard drive.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Virtual Machine Manager 0.7.0
2. Select VM to run
3. Run VM
  
Actual results:
VM hangs at "Booting from Hard Disk..."
Multiple AVC errors occur

Expected results:
VM to run as installed

Additional info:

Fix command does not help.

Summary:

SELinux is preventing pt_chown (ptchown_t) "read write" to
/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXP.img (svirt_image_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by pt_chown. /var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXP.img
may be a mislabeled. /var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXP.img default SELinux type is
virt_image_t, but its current type is svirt_image_t. Changing this file back to
the default type, may fix your problem.

File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways.

  * Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent
    directory by default.
  * The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from the
    parent directory by specifying a process running in context A which creates
    a file in a directory labeled B will instead create the file with label C.
    An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the dhclient_t type
    and creates a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally receive
    the etc_t type due to parental inheritance but instead the file is labeled
    with the net_conf_t type because the SELinux policy specifies this.
  * Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as chcon, or
    restorecon.

This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally
confined application was run under the wrong domain.

However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file should not
have been labeled with this type.

If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Allowing Access:

You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the
restorecon command. restorecon '/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXP.img', if this file
is a directory, you can recursively restore using restorecon -R
'/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXP.img'.

Fix Command:

restorecon '/var/lib/libvirt/images/WinXP.img'
