Description of problem: Happened during a yum update in which alsa-utils was updated to 0:1.0.28-1.fc21. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/alsactl from 'write' accesses on the directory lock. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that alsactl should be allowed write access on the lock directory 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:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 Target Objects lock [ dir ] Source alsactl Source Path /usr/sbin/alsactl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages alsa-utils-1.0.28-1.fc21.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-67.fc21.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.16.0-0.rc6.git1.2.fc22.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 22 14:49:51 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2014-07-25 18:20:31 PDT Last Seen 2014-07-25 18:20:31 PDT Local ID 5ae116a9-35bf-4cdc-a1fb-20eea228fc12 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1406337631.664:1166): avc: denied { write } for pid=8303 comm="alsactl" name="lock" dev="tmpfs" ino=14342 scontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1 type=AVC msg=audit(1406337631.664:1166): avc: denied { add_name } for pid=8303 comm="alsactl" name="asound.state.lock" scontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1 type=AVC msg=audit(1406337631.664:1166): avc: denied { create } for pid=8303 comm="alsactl" name="asound.state.lock" scontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 type=AVC msg=audit(1406337631.664:1166): avc: denied { open } for pid=8303 comm="alsactl" path="/run/lock/asound.state.lock" dev="tmpfs" ino=7053339 scontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1406337631.664:1166): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=yes exit=EINTR a0=7fc5a903b7b3 a1=c2 a2=1a4 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=8303 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=alsactl exe=/usr/sbin/alsactl subj=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: alsactl,alsa_t,var_lock_t,dir,write Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-67.fc21.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.2.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.16.0-0.rc6.git1.2.fc22.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1123469
