Description Chris Murphy 2012-10-10 06:26:03 UTC
Description of problem:
systemd-analyze results in SELinux denial

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-analyze.x86_64 0:194-1.fc18 
selinux-policy-3.11.1-32.fc18
dbus-1.6.8-2.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install systemd-analyze
2. run systemd-analyze


Actual results:
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.1:/org/freedesktop/systemd1: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: SELinux policy denies access.
Traceback (most recent call last):

    time()
  File "/usr/bin/systemd-analyze", line 91, in time
    initrd_time, start_time, finish_time = acquire_start_time()
  File "/usr/bin/systemd-analyze", line 34, in acquire_start_time
    initrd_time = int(properties.Get('org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager', 'InitRDTimestampMonotonic'))

    message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: SELinux policy denies access.


Expected results:
To report startup time stats.

This was working with alpha a week or two ago, so this may actually be dbus, not systemd-analyze triggering the denial.

Comment 1 Chris Murphy 2012-10-14 22:57:45 UTC
Not reproducible with selinux-policy-3.11.1-36.fc18.noarch; other component versions remain the same.

Comment 2 Chris Murphy 2012-10-14 23:05:18 UTC
'systemd-analyze blame' still produces an SE Linux denial; whereas with no option or time option, there is no error.

[root@f18v ~]# systemd-analyze blame

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 859614 ***

Comment 4 Chris Murphy 2012-10-15 09:34:31 UTC
After applying:
selinux-policy-targeted-3.11.1-38.fc18.noarch
selinux-policy-3.11.1-38.fc18.noarch

And autorelabel=1, "systemd-analyze blame" is working for me without the comment 2 denial. So this bug may not be a duplicate of Bug 859614.
