Description of problem: SELinux is preventing gsf-office-thum from using the 'dac_read_search' capabilities. ***** Plugin dac_override (91.4 confidence) suggests ********************** If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file with the wrong permissions on your system Then turn on full auditing to get path information about the offending file and generate the error again. Do Turn on full auditing # auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w Try to recreate AVC. Then execute # ausearch -m avc -ts recent If you see PATH record check ownership/permissions on file, and fix it, otherwise report as a bugzilla. ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that gsf-office-thum should have the dac_read_search 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 gsf-office-thum /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects Unknown [ capability ] Source gsf-office-thum Source Path gsf-office-thum Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-158.fc23.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 15 16:49:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2015-12-27 10:39:27 YEKT Last Seen 2015-12-27 10:39:27 YEKT Local ID d9500724-613a-4e04-855c-defff3dbc611 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1451194767.594:1000): avc: denied { dac_read_search } for pid=7200 comm="gsf-office-thum" capability=2 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability permissive=0 Hash: gsf-office-thum,thumb_t,thumb_t,capability,dac_read_search Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-158.fc23.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.6.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1258058
Were you running X Apps as root? This is unsupported, and will not be fixed. dac_read_search means that an app can read any file even if its ownership/permission flags are not correct.
