SELinux invalid AVC Denial report screen shot
A subsequent reboot brought the SELinux AVC app back to life and it showed an ever-increasing list of 'search' access errors by boinc.Rather than deal with them at this time, I have killed boinc_client and deleted the seapplet reports. This has removed setroubleshootd from the 'top' list and has restored processor use to sensible levels. Summary: It seems to be a boinc problem and I know there are issues with boinc, so I have shut it down for now. |
Created attachment 549646 [details] 'top' output Description of problem: I have a dual-core Intel x86_64 processor (Lenovo T61 laptop). It has been responding slowly to user input since a recent software update. 'top' shows setroubleshootd is using between 55% and 70% in the '%CPU' column and 'System Monitor' is showing both cores being used 80% to 95% when the machine is supposedly standing idle. In addition, 'SELinux Alert Browser' is popping up an alert which makes no sense: it has the following information: The source process: label Attempted this access: label On this file: label None of the buttons in the applet has any effect: I cannot delete, ignore, troubleshoot, notify admin or see details. The applet shows zero alerts. 'List All Alerts' opens a window, but this has no content other than the headings. I am assuming the setroubleshootd CPU usage problem and the SELinux AVC report problem have the same cause, which is why I have made a single report. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): setroubleshoot-3.0.38-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Normal use of system. I have tried killing the setroubleshoot process and rebooting, but the problems persist. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system 2. 3. Actual results: Heavy use of processor cores; invalid AVC denial report. Expected results: Cores should be showing low use at idle, AVC reports should be valid and reportable. Additional info: The problem started with a recent software update.
