Description Jasper O'neal Hartline 2018-05-13 18:06:04 UTC
Description of problem:
Tried to sudo -u root cat .bashrc >>/home/autopsy/.bashrc
Then I got the AVC SELinux Denial Window.
SELinux is preventing mv from 'associate' accesses on the filesystem null.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that mv should be allowed associate access on the null filesystem 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 'mv' --raw | audit2allow -M my-mv
# semodule -X 300 -i my-mv.pp

My /home/autopsy user is in the wheel group and the directory permissions are rwx------ /home/autopsy

Comment 2 Jasper O'neal Hartline 2018-05-13 20:04:10 UTC
Description of problem:
Not sure how this occurred this time.
I was editing a file in /root/hostname.txt with vim editor and closed and saved it.
Then I saw the bug reporting window and SELinux denial.

Comment 3 Jasper O'neal Hartline 2018-05-13 22:04:48 UTC
Description of problem:
I was running dnf --releasever=28 upgrade fedora-repos-28-2.noarch in lilyterm and with another ROXterm open.
I wonder if it's got to do with lilyterm actually.

What is this mv on filesystem null?

Hi, 

This is weird SELinux denial, are you able to reproduce it? 

Thanks,
Lukas.

Comment 5 Jasper O'neal Hartline 2018-05-22 10:19:16 UTC
No I can't repproduce.

I haven't seen it again since those last times.

I may have updated packages which don't exhibit this behavior.

Comment 6 Lukas Vrabec 2018-05-22 10:32:12 UTC
Let's close it. If you'll able to reproduce it, feel free to re-open this BZ.
