Description Mustafa Muhammad 2013-01-01 19:32:42 UTC
Description of problem:
I tried to kill a process (yumBackend) because it was taking forever so I wanted to use yum.
Instead of displaying a dialog box asking for root passward to allow me to kill the process, I got AVC denial.

How reproducible:
Always

How to reproduce:
1) As a user (not in the Admins group) try to kill a root process

What happens:
AVC denial

What is expected:
Display a dialog asking for the root password and after entering it, executing the command.


Additional info:
libreport version: 2.0.17
kernel:         3.6.6-3.fc18.x86_64

:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that ksysguardprocesslist_helper should be allowed read access on the passwd file by default.
:Then you should report this as a bug.
:You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
:Do
:allow this access for now by executing:
:# grep ksysguardproces /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp
