Description David Jaša 2011-11-24 17:03:32 UTC

Description of problem:
SSIA. If I understand SELinux policies correctly, a clean fix for bug 756811 involves adding special type /run/mcelog.pid that only mcelog will get processes with scontext=system_u:system_r:mcelog_t:s0 will able to modify.

typo: "type /run/mcelog.pid" --> "type for file /run/mcelog.pid"

Comment 2 David Jaša 2011-11-24 17:57:32 UTC

After further investigation, it seems that the only problem is a wrong context for file /var/run/mcelog.pid in policy, when changed to mcelo_var_run_t, after running:

semanage fcontext -a -t mcelog_var_run_t /var/run/mcelog.pid

and restoring context, all AVCs are gone.
