Description Garrett Holmstrom 2013-06-12 19:02:41 UTC
Description of problem:
I encountered this when starting Firefox shortly after logging into XFCE.

If it matters, note this account's staff_t context.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from 'connectto' accesses on the unix_stream_socket @/tmp/dbus-mq8ZeGKq8A.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed connectto access on the dbus-mq8ZeGKq8A unix_stream_socket 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 python /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2013-06-13 12:55:02 UTC
Did you setup staff_u and re-login and then you used Firefox?

Comment 2 Garrett Holmstrom 2013-06-14 02:58:43 UTC
Not exactly.  I set this user up as staff_u when I installed F18 shortly after its release.  I've been using it that way ever since, with numerous updates and reboots.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2013-06-14 05:47:33 UTC
And are you able to get it again?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2013-06-18 16:16:36 UTC
Ray are normal users supposed to be able to communicate with gdm over dbus?

Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-06-19 14:43:37 UTC
the GNOME unlock dialog does. I don't know why gnome-terminal, XFCE, or python would be.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2013-06-19 19:51:13 UTC
37a5f9682d0a02ac3537876ffad88a3f9bfba3cc allows this since we were allowing staff_t to connecto xdm_t, not sure why this is running as xdm_dbusd_t.
