Description of problem: SELinux is preventing pool from using the 'dac_override' 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 pool should have the dac_override 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: # ausearch -c 'pool' --raw | audit2allow -M my-pool # semodule -X 300 -i my-pool.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 pool Source Path pool Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-224.fc25.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.8.8-300.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 15 18:10:06 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 16 First Seen 2016-11-24 14:24:16 MSK Last Seen 2016-11-24 14:24:16 MSK Local ID 77a7f9fd-dad5-4dd0-b734-21e44a8b2eec Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1479986656.115:288): avc: denied { dac_override } for pid=4613 comm="pool" capability=1 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: pool,thumb_t,thumb_t,capability,dac_override Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-224.fc25.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.8.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.8.10-300.fc25.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1197285
This looks like you are running an X Session as root, which is triggering this issue. Running X as root is not supported by SELinux.
