Description of problem: SELinux is preventing iio-sensor-prox from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that iio-sensor-prox 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 'iio-sensor-prox' --raw | audit2allow -M my-iiosensorprox # semodule -X 300 -i my-iiosensorprox.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:iiosensorproxy_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:iiosensorproxy_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ capability ] Source iio-sensor-prox Source Path iio-sensor-prox Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-41.41-1.fc42.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-41.41-1.fc42.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 6.14.9-300.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu May 29 14:27:53 UTC 2025 x86_64 Alert Count 150 First Seen 2025-06-04 23:17:20 PDT Last Seen 2025-06-06 10:12:54 PDT Local ID 3bbf3671-e247-4906-928f-e04767c8087e Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1749229974.957:116): avc: denied { sys_admin } for pid=1366 comm="iio-sensor-prox" capability=21 scontext=system_u:system_r:iiosensorproxy_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:iiosensorproxy_t:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 Hash: iio-sensor-prox,iiosensorproxy_t,iiosensorproxy_t,capability,sys_admin Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-41.41-1.fc42.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.17.15 reason: SELinux is preventing iio-sensor-prox from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities. package: selinux-policy-targeted-41.41-1.fc42.noarch component: selinux-policy hashmarkername: setroubleshoot type: libreport kernel: 6.14.9-300.fc42.x86_64 component: selinux-policy

Hi, Do you know at which moment this denial appears? The sys_admin capability is too powerful, cCan you enable full auditing and gather additional information? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/Debugging#Enable_full_auditing

Since there is a bug reported already, I’ll go ahead and close it. If it pops again, then I will resubmit.
