Description of problem: SELinux is preventing alsactl from 'getattr' accesses on the file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /var/lib/alsa/asound.state default label should be alsa_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/alsa/asound.state ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that alsactl should be allowed getattr access on the asound.state 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 'alsactl' --raw | audit2allow -M my-alsactl # semodule -X 300 -i my-alsactl.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lib/alsa/asound.state [ file ] Source alsactl Source Path alsactl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.14.3-15.fc30.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.20.0-0.rc7.git1.1.fc30.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 22:52:01 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2018-12-22 21:29:25 +05 Last Seen 2018-12-22 21:29:25 +05 Local ID c14b4cad-c6ec-4534-b329-2909db3e43d3 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1545496165.494:625): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1045 comm="alsactl" path="/var/lib/alsa/asound.state" dev="nvme0n1p2" ino=2883880 scontext=system_u:system_r:alsa_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 Hash: alsactl,alsa_t,unlabeled_t,file,getattr Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.14.3-15.fc30.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.7 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.20.0-0.rc7.git1.1.fc30.x86_64 type: libreport
