Description Xiaofeng 2011-08-07 08:35:05 UTC
SELinux is preventing /sbin/consoletype from 'read' accesses on the file /proc/<pid>/net/dev.

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

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

Do you know what you were doing when this happened?

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-08-08 15:41:51 UTC

i'm not sure, but it happened not long after i updated to the "kernel-2.6.40" and installed a "H3C" client.

then it happened when i run the client.

but  after i have installed the "kernel3.0.1", nothing have happened


since i am a student in china, when i need to surf the internet i have to use something, then comes the "H3C client", a program used for authentication, which is most used in Windows.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2011-08-11 13:46:55 UTC
So h3c is probably leaking an open file descriptor to proc_net_t.  You can safely load a policy to ignore this AVC

# grep consoletype /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M myconsoletype
# semodule -I myconsoletype.pp


Should fix the problem.
