Description Christopher Antila 2010-07-31 06:32:57 UTC 
Summary:

SELinux is preventing ps "getattr" access on /dev/tty4.

Detailed Description:

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

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

#============= nsplugin_t ==============
allow nsplugin_t tty_device_t:chr_file getattr;
Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2010-08-02 16:58:22 UTC 
I will add

term_getattr_unallocated_ttys(nsplugin_t)
Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-08-03 17:44:50 UTC 
interface(`term_dontaudit_getattr_all_ttys',`
	gen_require(`
		attribute ttynode;
		type tty_device_t;
	')

	dev_list_all_dev_nodes($1)
	dontaudit $1 ttynode:chr_file getattr;
	dontaudit $1 tty_device_t:chr_file getattr;
')

I think fixing the interface would be better.
