Description of problem:
tcpdump -r fails to work. tcpdump prints:

tcpdump: /tmp/test.trc: Permission denied

and syslog has:

Jun 29 14:53:56 bradley kernel: audit(1120020836.683:11): avc:  denied  { read
} for  pid=7026 comm="tcpdump" name=test.trc dev=dm-0 ino=9306184 scontext=user_u:system_r:netutils_t tcontext=user_u:object_r:tmp_t tclass=file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-1.23.18-12

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. touch /tmp/test.trc
2. /usr/sbin/tcpdump -r /tmp/test.trc
  

Actual Results:  Errors above

Expected Results:  tcpdump should have displayed the file contents if it was valid

Additional info:

[bbaetz@bradley ~]$ ls -l /tmp/test.trc
-rw-rw-r--  1 bbaetz bbaetz 0 Jun 29 14:53 /tmp/test.trc
[bbaetz@bradley ~]$ ls -Z /tmp/test.trc
-rw-rw-r--  bbaetz   bbaetz   user_u:object_r:tmp_t            /tmp/test.trc

If I try a file in /home/<user> rather than /tmp, I get:

Jun 29 14:57:10 bradley kernel: audit(1120021030.373:14): avc:  denied  { search } for  pid=7064 comm="tcpdump" name=home dev=dm-0 ino=7634945 scontext=root:system_r:netutils_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t tclass=dir

instead.

ethereal doesn't have this problem
