Description Villy Kruse 2019-09-17 10:05:04 UTC
Description of problem:
systemd-logind sometimes wants to inspect the configuration files used by systemd-bootd.

In particular it is looking for the files in /boot/efi/loader/entries.  These files does
only exist if you disable grub2 and use systemd-bootd.
SELinux is preventing systemd-logind from 'read' accesses on the directory entries.

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

If you believe that systemd-logind should be allowed read access on the entries directory 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 'systemd-logind' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemdlogind
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemdlogind.pp

Hi Villy, 

Do you have any functionality issues related to this SELinux denial? Or you just saw this SELinux denial setroubleshoot tool ? 

Thanks, Nikola.

As I always run SELinux in permissive mod I don't have functionality issue.

I suspect it has something to do with a new feature as described in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/9896.

I can't say much more, except I noticed it occurs with LXDE environment when doing a reboot from the GUI interface.

As far as I can see, this commit is not (yet as of 27 October) ported to the f31 branch of selinux-policy.

Comment 10 Lukas Vrabec 2019-10-28 14:03:58 UTC
Villy,
You're right. Sorry I forgot to back port it from Rawhide.
