Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing plymouthd from 'getattr' accesses on the diretório /sys/firmware/efi/efivars.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars default label should be sysfs_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 /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that plymouthd should be allowed getattr access on the efivars directory by default.
Then você deve informar que este é um erro.
Você pode gerar um módulo de política local para permitir este acesso.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'plymouthd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-plymouthd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-plymouthd.pp

Comment 5 Vladimir Zhelezov 2018-12-10 23:16:28 UTC
Happens to me too on every boot.

The proposed solution, to run restorecon on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars, doesn't have any effect. The type stays unchanged: efivarfs_t. What I did to silence the warning was to build and install a module:

> sudo ausearch -m avc -c plymouthd | audit2allow -M my-plymouthd
> sudo semodule -i my-plymouthd.pp
> cat my-plymouthd.te

module my-plymouthd 1.0;

require {
        type efivarfs_t;
        type plymouthd_t;
        class dir getattr;
}

#============= plymouthd_t ==============
allow plymouthd_t efivarfs_t:dir getattr;

Comment 8 Richard Shaw 2018-12-15 18:28:17 UTC
Is this error benign? It's the only problem I see when I look though my logs after trying to shut down and it stalls and I have to do a hard reset every time.

It is a ram-disk file system so no point in fixing the labels.

Sorry, but selinux-policy-3.14.2-46.fc29 doesn't fix this bug. I have it installed and I've just encountered this AVC alert:

These occurred on Tue Jan 15 14:08:10 2019 and Fri Jan 18 11:50:45 2019.  Was that before or after the upgrade?

I updated selinux-policy-3.14.2-46.fc29 (from updates-testing) on 2019-01-14 at 18:50 CET, so both did occur after the upgrade.

I'm not sure if running kernel version has anything do with it, but I was running 4.19.13 and .14 at the time:

$ last reboot | head -n 3

Comment 22 Villy Kruse 2019-01-21 10:51:25 UTC
Meanwhile selinux-policy-3.14.2-47.fc29.noarch is the current version.

Comment 23 Lukas Vrabec 2019-01-21 12:56:38 UTC
Hi, 

I tried this on my system with the latest selinux-policy build: 

# sesearch -A -s plymouthd_t -t efivarfs_t -c dir 
allow plymouthd_t efivarfs_t:dir { getattr open search };

# rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.14.2-47.fc29.noarch

#============= plymouthd_t ==============

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow plymouthd_t efivarfs_t:dir getattr;


So, I'm closing this as current release.
