Description jimmyb 2009-11-29 01:09:59 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/qemu "write" access on sr0.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by qemu. It is not expected that this access is
required by qemu 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.

Comment 9 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2010-03-09 17:17:51 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 10 Michael Monreal 2010-04-19 09:07:40 UTC
For me, this SELinux error appeared when I tried to install a VM from a physical CD... so no write access was needed.

Comment 11 Andrew Ross 2010-05-28 02:41:50 UTC
Also on F13

selinux-policy-3.7.19-15.fc13.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-15.fc13.noarch
qemu-kvm-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64

Comment 12 Michael Monreal 2010-07-03 10:13:07 UTC
Still getting this on F13 when trying to install Windows XP. The installer is started but after some time it hangs at "Setup is starting Windows". Do you think this is related or another bug? (and why is F13's virt stack so buggy... everything used to work on F12...)

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 05:02:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'.

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 12'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 12 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

Comment 14 Bug Zapper 2010-12-04 02:36:59 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
