Description of problem: Every night when the `fwupdagent` runs it produces the log entry shown in the summary of this BZ. The complete sealert message is: ~~~ $ sudo sealert -l 41fff8c8-5296-4fdc-80ee-3276cb55142b SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/fwupdmgr from map access on the file /root/.cache/dconf/user. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow domain to can mmap files Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'domain_can_mmap_files' boolean. Do setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that fwupdmgr should be allowed map access on the user 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 'fwupdagent' --raw | audit2allow -M my-fwupdagent # semodule -X 300 -i my-fwupdagent.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:insights_client_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:cache_home_t:s0 Target Objects /root/.cache/dconf/user [ file ] Source fwupdagent Source Path /usr/bin/fwupdmgr Port <Unknown> Host host.example.com Source RPM Packages fwupd-1.8.10-2.el9.x86_64 Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-38.1.11-2.el9_2.3.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-38.1.11-2.el9_2.3.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name host.example.com Platform Linux host.example.com 5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed May 31 10:39:18 EDT 2023 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 39 First Seen 2023-04-26 02:08:13 CEST Last Seen 2023-07-04 03:14:11 CEST Local ID 41fff8c8-5296-4fdc-80ee-3276cb55142b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1688433251.557:834): avc: denied { map } for pid=33387 comm="fwupdagent" path="/root/.cache/dconf/user" dev="dm-1" ino=1310729 scontext=system_u:system_r:insights_client_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cache_home_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1688433251.557:834): arch=x86_64 syscall=mmap success=yes exit=140588147630080 a0=0 a1=1 a2=1 a3=1 items=0 ppid=33386 pid=33387 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=fwupdagent exe=/usr/bin/fwupdmgr subj=system_u:system_r:insights_client_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: fwupdagent,insights_client_t,cache_home_t,file,map ~~~ I checked with the upstream project of fwupd and they can reproduce it and are sure this is a bug as fwupdmgr should be allowed map access on the user file by default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Source RPM Packages: fwupd-1.8.10-2.el9.x86_64 SELinux Policy RPM: selinux-policy-targeted-38.1.11-2.el9_2.3.noarch Local Policy RPM: selinux-policy-targeted-38.1.11-2.el9_2.3.noarch How reproducible: Recurs every night when the fwupdagent runs. Actual results: Entry in journalctl: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/fwupdmgr from map access on the file /root/.cache/dconf/user. Expected results: fwupdmgr should be allowed map access on the user file by default. Additional info: Link to upstream discussion: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/discussions/5962
