Description of problem: After a fresh F24 install, SELinux complains that bluez-5.40-1 (specifically, the /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd binary) wants to have mounton access on /etc (not any subdir, but the /etc itself), despite having no sane justification for doing so. As intended, SELinux blocks this request. Even though not side effect is seen on my system, other have reported that their capability to use bluetooth was impaired, as per bug #1341753. The AVC denial is the following, and the system was put in permissive mode in order to confirm the issue: type=AVC msg=audit(1467239211.21:93): avc: denied { mounton } for pid=1091 comm="(uetoothd)" path="/etc" dev="dm-0" ino=783362 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1 No other AVC is logged even when permissive mode is enabled. In my case, the PID 1091 proccess is, indeed, /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd, which was started by init. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bluez-5.40-1.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Reproducible on all three Fedora 24 systems of mine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a fresh F24 system and start the system. 2. The above pasted AVC will be logged in the auditd log. Expected results: No package should need to mount anything on /etc. This access request should be removed.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
