Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2012-06-04 12:59:11 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product Management has
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for
potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently
deployed products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in
a release.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-04 15:16:37 UTC
This looks like a leaked file descriptor. Since unix_chkpwd does not do anything with the terminal.

In latest fedora's it is dontaudited.

 audit2allow  -i /tmp/t


#============= system_chkpwd_t ==============
#!!!! This avc has a dontaudit rule in the current policy

allow system_chkpwd_t telnetd_devpts_t:chr_file { read write };

RHEL6 also has


term_dontaudit_use_console(chkpwd_t)
term_dontaudit_use_unallocated_ttys(chkpwd_t)
term_dontaudit_use_generic_ptys(chkpwd_t)
term_dontaudit_use_all_ptys(chkpwd_t)

You can safely ignore this for now.
