Description of problem: Noticed this SELinux Alert in retrospect. Had installed snapd to be able to install a snap. SELinux is preventing snapd from 'getattr' accesses on the lnk_file /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 default label should be snappy_var_lib_t. Then you can run restorecon. The access attempt may have been stopped due to insufficient permissions to access a parent directory in which case try to change the following command accordingly. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that snapd should be allowed getattr access on the ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 lnk_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 'snapd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-snapd # semodule -X 300 -i my-snapd.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:snappy_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld- linux-x86-64.so.2 [ lnk_file ] Source snapd Source Path snapd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-260.1.fc26.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 17 16:32:11 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2017-07-25 09:27:41 AEST Last Seen 2017-07-25 19:27:33 AEST Local ID f4e82629-d93c-4f70-9d23-edcff05b4bb9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1500974853.93:1120): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=23528 comm="snapd" path="/var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" dev="loop0" ino=2569 scontext=system_u:system_r:snappy_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=lnk_file permissive=1 Hash: snapd,snappy_t,unlabeled_t,lnk_file,getattr Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-260.1.fc26.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.1 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64 type: libreport
Alert tells you what to do. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 default label should be snappy_var_lib_t.

Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 restorecon -R -v /var/lib is probably not a bad idea.
The alerts' suggestion doesn't seem to work here because that file is actually in a squashfs volume. Should the warning be changed or should a different suggestion be presented? $ sudo /sbin/restorecon -v /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /sbin/restorecon: Could not set context for /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: Read-only file system $ mount | grep snapd /var/lib/snapd/snaps/core_2381.snap on /var/lib/snapd/snap/core/2381 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,seclabel) tmpfs on /run/snapd/ns type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,seclabel,mode=755) nsfs on /run/snapd/ns/core.mnt type nsfs (rw,seclabel) /var/lib/snapd/snaps/micro_1.snap on /var/lib/snapd/snap/micro/1 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,seclabel) nsfs on /run/snapd/ns/micro.mnt type nsfs (rw,seclabel)
This file system does not have labels on it. if you could mount the file system with a context omunt we could probably fix the AVC. Something like -o context="system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0" ALthough if this is a standard diretory for snappy to install then it should have a label on it like snapd_var_lib_t. Which is a bug in SELinux policy.
I assume this is a standard directory. I installed snapd with: sudo dnf install snapd Then attempted to install the following snap with: sudo snap install micro --beta I then tried another snap: sudo snap install vlc This gets me a different alert: SELinux is preventing systemctl from create access on the lnk_file var-lib-snapd-snap-vlc-4.mount. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that systemctl should be allowed create access on the var-lib-snapd-snap-vlc-4.mount lnk_file by default.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. 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 '26'. 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 26 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 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 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.
I have the same error in Fedora 39. This never got fixed.
