Description of problem: On each boot (ThinkPad L14) SELinux is preventing ModemManager from read, write access on the chr_file wwan0at0. ***** Plugin device (91.4 confidence) suggests **************************** If you want to allow ModemManager to have read write access on the wwan0at0 chr_file Then you need to change the label on wwan0at0 to a type of a similar device. Do # semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE 'wwan0at0' # restorecon -v 'wwan0at0' ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that ModemManager should be allowed read write access on the wwan0at0 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 wwan0at0 [ chr_file ] Source ModemManager Source Path ModemManager Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-35.7-1.fc35.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-35.7-1.fc35.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 5.15.12-200.fc35.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 29 15:03:38 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 252 First Seen 2021-10-07 09:00:02 CEST Last Seen 2022-01-04 09:00:46 CET Local ID 243819de-e975-4e69-937f-6fbc88ed1c2b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1641283246.246:239): avc: denied { read write } for pid=3264 comm="ModemManager" name="wwan0at0" dev="devtmpfs" ino=724 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-targeted-35.7-1.fc35.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.15.2 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.15.12-200.fc35.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1712324
