Description Roman Rakus 2011-09-12 19:22:12 UTC
Description of problem:
Package system-config-kdump is unable to get kernel informations via grubby command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.9.16-38.fc15.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start `system-config-kdump'
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Errors and AVC deny

Expected results:


Additional info:
Looks like grubby changed, but I'm not sure.
system-config-kdump is using dbus and calls external programs (like grubby).

Details from sealert:
SELinux is preventing grubby from read access on the lnk_file /etc/mtab.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/etc/mtab default label should be etc_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/mtab

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests  ***************************

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

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-12 19:32:36 UTC
We should add this abiltiy to read lnk_files to the manage_etc_runtime_files interface.  Already done in F16 policy.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.16-41.fc15
