RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Radek Bíba 2016-09-05 06:28:03 UTC 
*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that colord should be allowed read access on the hwdb.bin file 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:
# ausearch -c 'colord' --raw | audit2allow -M my-colord
# semodule -i my-colord.pp

Comment 1 Milos Malik 2016-09-05 06:58:55 UTC 
Could you switch the colord_t domain to permissive and collect all SELinux denials causes by colord?

# semanage permissive -a colord_t

For switching the colord_t domain back to enforcing, please use following command:

# semanage permissive -d colord_t
Comment 2 Radek Bíba 2016-09-05 07:10:34 UTC 
Sure, I've executed the recommended command. There apparently are no other denials, though, because this is the only one announced by SELinux troubleshooter.

I might add that the denial appeared in sealert right after I logged in to Gnome. I didn't do anything in the color management screen in Gnome settings, and if I do open the screen and click around, no new (permitted or not) denial is logged. Is there anything else I could do to help scope this issue?
Comment 3 Milos Malik 2016-09-05 07:48:45 UTC 
Following command should find all today's SELinux denials:

# ausearch -m avc -m user_avc -m selinux_err -m user_selinux_err -i -ts today
Comment 4 Radek Bíba 2016-09-05 07:56:07 UTC

List of today's denials

OK, here they are.

Those involving aaargh-0.7.1-py2.7.egg probably won't appear anymore and aren't bugs. sealert recommended restoring the context of that directory, and I did that.
