Seeing it on Fedora 29 too (nvidia driver from negativo17 if that's relevant)

Hi,

Sorry, this seems to have slipped through the cracks, it's been fixed upstream in commit:

commit 3e6e622a12d6bf80202e2446971ad531f2b4eea1
Author: Lukas Vrabec <lvrabec>
Date:   Wed Nov 21 23:28:39 2018 +0100

It'll make it into the next spin of PCP

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '27'.

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 27 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.

Hello,

I just upgraded to Fedora 29 and I am seeing a lot of these AVC denials for pcp. I have these packages:
pcp-4.3.0-1.fc29.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.14.2-44.fc29.noarch

Thank you

here are a couple of the reports:
SELinux is preventing pmdalinux from 'unix_read' accesses on the semaphore labeled httpd_t.

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

If you believe that pmdalinux should be allowed unix_read access on sem labeled httpd_t 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 'pmdalinux' --raw | audit2allow -M my-pmdalinux
# semodule -X 300 -i my-pmdalinux.pp

Sorry to hear that, thanks for reporting it (because the original bug was fixed upstream, the fedora update system will continue to marked this as closed because the bug is filed in errata).

I'm not able to reproduce a single one of these AVC's. Each is marked as 'would be allowed by active policy' by audit2allow.  What version of pcp-selinux do you have installed?
$ rpm -q pcp-selinux

Is the upstream pcp policy active?

$ sudo semodule --list=full | grep pcpupstream

Thanks

Hi Lukas,
After the pcp-4.3.0-2.fc28 update the issue is gone.
Thank you for following up,
Eduardo
