Description James Crawford 2023-01-15 01:36:29 UTC
Description of problem:
Triggered by crash of Wesnoth game
SELinux is preventing gdb from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities.

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

If you believe that gdb should have the sys_admin 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 'gdb' --raw | audit2allow -M my-gdb
# semodule -X 300 -i my-gdb.pp

Potential duplicate: bug 1897863

Comment 1 Zdenek Pytela 2023-01-16 11:04:02 UTC
It is required to turn this boolean on to allow abrt execute its gdb handler and be able to troubleshoot further:

  # setsebool -P abrt_handle_event on

and subsequently report another bug for the affected component.

Refer to abrt_handle_event_selinux(8) for more information.
