Description of problem: Happens when hostapd starts up. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/hostapd from 'getattr' accesses on the netlink_generic_socket Unknown. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that hostapd should be allowed getattr access on the Unknown netlink_generic_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 hostapd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:hostapd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:hostapd_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ netlink_generic_socket ] Source hostapd Source Path /usr/sbin/hostapd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages hostapd-2.4-4.fc23.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-154.fc23.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 27 04:29:56 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 33 First Seen 2015-10-17 12:09:03 CEST Last Seen 2015-11-14 16:29:55 CET Local ID 10465415-182a-44b5-a9d6-2b03cffad409 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1447514995.968:443): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=4943 comm="hostapd" scontext=system_u:system_r:hostapd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:hostapd_t:s0 tclass=netlink_generic_socket permissive=1 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1447514995.968:443): arch=x86_64 syscall=getsockname success=yes exit=0 a0=5 a1=7ffccc24e770 a2=7ffccc24e76c a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=4943 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=hostapd exe=/usr/sbin/hostapd subj=system_u:system_r:hostapd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: hostapd,hostapd_t,hostapd_t,netlink_generic_socket,getattr Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-154.fc23.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.6.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64 type: libreport
