Description of problem: SELinux is preventing flatpak-system- from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/passwd. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that flatpak-system- should be allowed read access on the passwd 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 'flatpak-system-' --raw | audit2allow -M my-flatpaksystem # semodule -X 300 -i my-flatpaksystem.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:flatpak_helper_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:passwd_file_t:s0 Target Objects /etc/passwd [ file ] Source flatpak-system- Source Path flatpak-system- Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages setup-2.13.9.1-3.fc36.noarch SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-36.5-1.fc36.noarch Local Policy RPM flatpak-selinux-1.12.7-1.fc36.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 5.16.16-200.fc35.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 23 00:44:58 CET 2022 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2022-03-30 23:52:13 CEST Last Seen 2022-03-30 23:52:13 CEST Local ID 5eed63e9-c50b-4801-b5c1-b243d011ceb0 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1648677133.642:1103): avc: denied { read } for pid=31490 comm="flatpak-system-" name="passwd" dev="nvme0n1p3" ino=3300790 scontext=system_u:system_r:flatpak_helper_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:passwd_file_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 Hash: flatpak-system-,flatpak_helper_t,passwd_file_t,file,read Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-36.5-1.fc36.noarch Additional info: component: flatpak reporter: libreport-2.17.1 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.16.16-200.fc35.x86_64 type: libreport
I have the same problem after system-upgrade to F36. Access to /etc/passwd is blocked, `flatpak update` therefore fails.
Similar problem has been detected: flatpak update fails because of denied access to /etc/passwd hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.17.0-300.fc36.x86_64 package: selinux-policy-targeted-36.5-1.fc36.noarch reason: SELinux is preventing flatpak-system- from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/passwd. type: libreport
This bug is filed against flatpak, however, I think it should be filed against selinux-policy

(In reply to Flo H. from comment #3) > This bug is filed against flatpak, however, I think it should be filed > against selinux-policy The flatpak_helper_t type is provided by the flatpak-selinux subpackage, so it needs to be addressed in flatpak. The appropriate interface is auth_read_passwd().
Does this look good to you: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/4852 ?
