Description jbox_ny 2010-03-13 03:06:07 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/pulseaudio "read" access on
\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:0f.1\x2fsound\x2fcard0.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by pulseaudio. It is not expected that this
access is required by pulseaudio 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-15 03:49:15 UTC
SOmething went wrong with udev, and it did not label these files correctly.

You might have a labelling problem on your machine.

Run fixfiles restore

And see if this bug goes away.

Running fixfiles restore does indeed fix my system that was experiencing the same issue. The udev update in question is luckily still in updates-testing.

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2010-03-24 07:12:24 UTC
Dan, is this really /dev?? Looks more like /sys?

name="\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:0f.1\x2fsound\x2fcard0"

/sys/devices/*/*/sound/card0

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-24 13:00:43 UTC
Harald, the question then would be how did that file get labeled as device_t?  It must have been created within a device_t directory or created under /dev and mv'd to /sys

you cannot create files in /sys

Comment 8 Harald Hoyer 2010-03-24 13:23:21 UTC
stupid me.. it's the udev database:

"/dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:0f.1\x2fsound\x2fcard0"

this is a normal text file, btw

Hmm, selinux should not be very strict to read those files.

Comment 11 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-24 13:46:51 UTC
It isn't but they should be labeled udev_tbl_t, rather then device_t.

matchpathcon /dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:1b.0\x2fsound\x2fcard0
/dev/.udev/db/x2fdevicesx2fpci0000:00x2f0000:00:1b.0x2fsoundx2fcard0	system_u:object_r:udev_tbl_t:s0

Comment 12 Daniel Walsh 2010-03-24 13:50:06 UTC
I think /dev/.udev is mislabled sometimes and this causes files placed into this directory to be mislabeled.  Or udev/libselinux is screwing up the path and getting these files mislabeled.

Does udev as SELinux how to label them?

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 19:57:08 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 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2010-11-08 21:47:53 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 15 Bug Zapper 2010-12-03 17:27:52 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.
