Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/alsactl from using the 'sys_nice' capabilities. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that alsactl should have the sys_nice capability 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 alsactl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 Target Objects [ capability ] Source alsactl Source Path /usr/sbin/alsactl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages alsa-utils-1.0.27.2-3.fc20.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-83.fc20.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.11.1-300.preempt.ck.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 27 10:08:58 BST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-09-28 10:09:59 BST Last Seen 2013-09-28 10:09:59 BST Local ID 14087fd0-9b8d-48eb-84a0-0322617e2743 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1380359399.504:10): avc: denied { sys_nice } for pid=475 comm="alsactl" capability=23 scontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tclass=capability type=AVC msg=audit(1380359399.504:10): avc: denied { sys_nice } for pid=475 comm="alsactl" capability=23 scontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tclass=capability type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1380359399.504:10): arch=x86_64 syscall=sched_setscheduler success=yes exit=0 a0=0 a1=2 a2=7fffa1681d80 a3=ffffffffffffffaa items=0 ppid=1 pid=475 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=alsactl exe=/usr/sbin/alsactl subj=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: alsactl,alsa_t,alsa_t,capability,sys_nice Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.7 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.11.1-300.preempt.ck.fc20.x86_64 type: libreport

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
