Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gdb from using the 'ptrace' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that gdb should be allowed ptrace access on processes labeled svirt_t 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 gdb /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c24,c705 Target Context unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c24,c705 Target Objects [ process ] Source gdb Source Path /usr/bin/gdb Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages gdb-7.6.50.20130731-16.fc20.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-90.fc20.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.12.0-2.fc21.x86_64+debug #1 SMP Sat Nov 9 21:12:03 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-11-18 02:05:04 YEKT Last Seen 2013-11-18 02:05:04 YEKT Local ID b021eed1-6678-4ddc-bd76-3f9b7201a86c Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1384718704.692:730): avc: denied { ptrace } for pid=4205 comm="gdb" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c24,c705 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c24,c705 tclass=process type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1384718704.692:730): arch=x86_64 syscall=ptrace success=no exit=EACCES a0=10 a1=7558 a2=0 a3=0 items=0 ppid=4201 pid=4205 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 ses=1 tty=(none) comm=gdb exe=/usr/bin/gdb subj=unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c24,c705 key=(null) Hash: gdb,svirt_t,svirt_t,process,ptrace Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.9 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.12.0-2.fc21.x86_64+debug type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 883556
