Description Stephen J Alexander 2023-04-16 09:18:15 UTC
Description of problem:
F737, XFCE has unecessary dependency on mdadm.
mdadm defaults to enable raid-check.service even when mdadm not used.
raid-check script violates som SEL oplicy while (unecessarily) accessing user data directory.
SELinux is preventing raid-check from 'search' accesses on the directory /home/common.

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

If you believe that raid-check should be allowed search access on the common 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 'raid-check' --raw | audit2allow -M my-raidcheck
# semodule -X 300 -i my-raidcheck.pp

Comment 1 Stephen J Alexander 2023-08-06 13:12:33 UTC
The issue is that the (unnecessary) systemd unit uses bash, and bash has built-in PATH value that accessed 'common' via a link.
Please close.

Comment 2 Aoife Moloney 2023-11-23 01:40:56 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2024-01-15 12:10:36 UTC
Fedora Linux 37 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-12-05.

Fedora Linux 37 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
