Description of problem: This happened when trying to use Firefox in a SELinux sandbox by doing sandbox -X firefox. Needless to say, the sandbox didn't start Firefox. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/Xephyr from 'connectto' accesses on the unix_stream_socket . ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that Xephyr should be allowed connectto access on the 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 Xephyr /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:sandbox_x_t:s0:c135,c756 Target Context system_u:system_r:xserver_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects [ unix_stream_socket ] Source Xephyr Source Path /usr/bin/Xephyr Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages xorg-x11-server- Xephyr-1.15.99.902-7.20140428.fc21.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-55.fc21.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.15.0-0.rc8.git2.2.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 16:32:44 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2014-06-06 18:30:28 IDT Last Seen 2014-06-06 18:30:28 IDT Local ID 87b6d38d-fdeb-45ae-9d0c-4b16baabe254 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1402068628.466:317): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=13807 comm="Xephyr" path=002F746D702F2E5831312D756E69782F5830 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:sandbox_x_t:s0:c135,c756 tcontext=system_u:system_r:xserver_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=unix_stream_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1402068628.466:317): arch=x86_64 syscall=connect success=no exit=EACCES a0=0 a1=7fff2be6f500 a2=14 a3=107 items=0 ppid=13798 pid=13807 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=Xephyr exe=/usr/bin/Xephyr subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:sandbox_x_t:s0:c135,c756 key=(null) Hash: Xephyr,sandbox_x_t,xserver_t,unix_stream_socket,connectto Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-55.fc21.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.2.2 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.15.0-0.rc8.git2.2.fc21.x86_64 type: libreport
