Description of problem: SELinux is preventing pcscd from using the 'sys_nice' capabilities. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that pcscd should have the sys_nice capability 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 'pcscd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-pcscd # semodule -X 300 -i my-pcscd.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:pcscd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:pcscd_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ capability ] Source pcscd Source Path pcscd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.14.6-9.fc33.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.6-9.fc33.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 5.6.0-0.rc6.git2.1.fc33.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 20 22:04:59 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2020-03-24 13:43:00 EDT Last Seen 2020-03-24 13:43:00 EDT Local ID e57edf83-37d2-44fa-8a72-1f2dcbf9f216 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1585071780.646:252): avc: denied { sys_nice } for pid=2348 comm="pcscd" capability=23 scontext=system_u:system_r:pcscd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pcscd_t:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 Hash: pcscd,pcscd_t,pcscd_t,capability,sys_nice Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.14.6-9.fc33.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.12.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.6.0-0.rc6.git2.1.fc33.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1806129
Similar problem has been detected: Seems to happen when I open a browser of any kind: i.e.; firefox or thunderbird, opera doesn't seem to happen when opening and closing Chrome, however, thats not to say that it won't happen with chrome. hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.6.0-0.rc7.git0.1.fc33.x86_64 package: selinux-policy-3.14.6-10.fc33.noarch reason: SELinux is preventing pcscd from using the 'sys_nice' capabilities. type: libreport
i get the same selinux message about pcscd after logging in as a regular user on f32 xfce spin x86_64 (amd64). A similar selinux message also occurs re: firewalld.
