Description Michael Wiktowy 2011-06-16 18:55:33 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/aria2c from 'read' accesses on the chr_file random.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that aria2c should be allowed read access on the random chr_file 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 aria2c /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Michael Wiktowy 2011-06-16 19:04:07 UTC
This is very likely caused by the yum-fast-downloader plugin being installed on my system.

Apparently, the abrt policy, when attempting to download the debug rpms via yum, does not play well with aria2c used by yum-fast-downloader.

Possibly the new option to send the traceback to a debug server would alleviate this in F15 but this is not available in F14.

Comment 2 Dominick Grift 2011-06-16 20:44:59 UTC
I dont have this aria2c app installed on my system so i guess abrt does not depends on it atleast in rawhide.

Nonetheless i added this to master branch:

Comment 3 Michael Wiktowy 2011-06-17 03:42:18 UTC
Thanks.

It is a url downloader like wget but can take advantage of parallel downloads and torrent files. So it opens up possibilities for yum.

Aria2c is in the regular repos but I don't think yum-fast-download is yet.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-06-17 18:12:16 UTC
I guess the question is why does Aria2c use /dev/rand versus /dev/urand?

Comment 5 Michael Wiktowy 2011-06-18 18:58:58 UTC
I can see a low quality random source being sufficient for load-balancing mirrors but according to http://aria2.sourceforge.net/ , Aria2c does support bittorrent encryption. Do other torrent clients need high quality random sources for this support?
