Description Maxwell Bottiger 2011-01-14 14:03:34 UTC
SELinux is preventing /sbin/consoletype from read, write access on the netlink_route_socket netlink_route_socket.

*****  Plugin catchall (50.5 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that consoletype should be allowed read write access on the netlink_route_socket netlink_route_socket by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep /sbin/consoletype /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

*****  Plugin leaks (50.5 confidence) suggests  ******************************

If you want to ignore consoletype trying to read write access the netlink_route_socket netlink_route_socket, because you believe it should not need this access.
Then you should report this as a bug.  
You can generate a local policy module to dontaudit this access.
Do
# grep /sbin/consoletype /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

This is a leaked file descriptor, what tool were you running when you got this AVC?
