Bug 551904

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gdb "write" access on /usr/share/glib-2.0/gdb.

Detailed Description:

[gdb has a permissive type (abrt_t). This access was not denied.]

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

audit2allow suggests:

#============= abrt_t ==============
#!!!! The source type 'abrt_t' can write to a 'dir' of the following types:
# tmp_t, var_t, abrt_tmp_t, var_run_t, rpm_var_cache_t, abrt_var_cache_t, var_log_t, abrt_var_log_t, rpm_var_run_t, abrt_var_run_t, root_t

allow abrt_t usr_t:dir { write add_name };
allow abrt_t usr_t:file { write create };
