Description of problem: Turning on 3G modem conection SELinux is preventing ModemManager from read, write access on the chr_file cdc-wdm2. ***** Plugin device (91.4 confidence) suggests **************************** If you want to allow ModemManager to have read write access on the cdc-wdm2 chr_file Then you need to change the label on cdc-wdm2 to a type of a similar device. Do # semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE 'cdc-wdm2' # restorecon -v 'cdc-wdm2' ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that ModemManager should be allowed read write access on the cdc-wdm2 chr_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 'ModemManager' --raw | audit2allow -M my-ModemManager # semodule -X 300 -i my-ModemManager.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:modemmanager_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 Target Objects cdc-wdm2 [ chr_file ] Source ModemManager Source Path ModemManager Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.14.3-37.fc30.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 5.0.16-300.fc30.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 14 19:33:09 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2019-05-21 12:31:07 EEST Last Seen 2019-05-21 12:31:07 EEST Local ID ef95b9f6-bb54-4929-be99-f944a53d9acb Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1558431067.141:448): avc: denied { read write } for pid=899 comm="ModemManager" name="cdc-wdm2" dev="devtmpfs" ino=204388 scontext=system_u:system_r:modemmanager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file permissive=0 Hash: ModemManager,modemmanager_t,device_t,chr_file,read,write Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.14.3-37.fc30.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.10.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.0.16-300.fc30.x86_64 type: libreport
