Description Daniel Stripes 2010-05-27 00:32:54 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing
/var/lib/boinc/projects/www.rnaworld.de_rnaworld/cmswrapper_0.10_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
"search" access .

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by cmswrapper_0.10. It is not expected that this
access is required by cmswrapper_0.10 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 2010-05-27 14:10:29 UTC
Miroslav does boinc need to read all sysctls?

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2010-05-27 14:35:53 UTC
Actually it depends on individual projects. This is first project, which I am seeing, required this access.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-27 19:02:57 UTC
Ok I am going to allow it.  But we might need to start writing policy per projects like for munin.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-22.fc13.noarch
