Description Jose Mendoza 2012-08-16 18:22:02 UTC

Description of problem:
I am unable to tell you what happenned. Last thing I did on the fedora box was, that I was chatting with a co-worker in pidgin but had been idle for about a minute or so, then I heard a pop sound from the desktop and when I looked at the find bar, I saw the notification. I am not sure how long it was there. Yesterday I installed security patches and rebooted. Last Friday, I  installed vlc for watching video clips from my family pictures.

Can you attach the output of 

# ausearch -m avc

Here is the requested output

I am not sure this is related but, I think there might be a problem with my /tmp partition filling up. it has 140892 files from systemd-namespace.

thanks,

Comment 4 Jose Mendoza 2012-08-16 20:18:20 UTC

ALso mailScanner is flooding my temp partition. I will clean it up.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2012-08-16 20:22:05 UTC

Should have compressed the file.  :^(

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2012-08-16 20:28:23 UTC

Jose 

If you run 

restorecon -R -v /var/spool

Does that change any labels?

You also have a process that is creating files in /tmp/MailScanner.WyIslz

I am not familiar with the restorecon selinux terminology so here is the output from the restorecon

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2012-08-17 10:09:31 UTC

SELinux is a labeling system, It puts labels on all files/directories and processes.  If the labels are in correct SELinux will generate errors.

restorecon is a command that will put files back to the default label.  In this case you were getting lots of denials because of /var/spool being mislabeled.

I also see lots of files being created in /tmp with the wrong label on them. Although I don't know how they are being mislabeled.
