Description of problem: Started a VM from virt-manager. SELinux is preventing udev-event from using the 'dac_override' capabilities. ***** Plugin dac_override (91.4 confidence) suggests ********************** If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file with the wrong permissions on your system Then turn on full auditing to get path information about the offending file and generate the error again. Do Turn on full auditing # auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w Try to recreate AVC. Then execute # ausearch -m avc -ts recent If you see PATH record check ownership/permissions on file, and fix it, otherwise report as a bugzilla. ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that udev-event should have the dac_override 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 'udev-event' --raw | audit2allow -M my-udevevent # semodule -X 300 -i my-udevevent.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:virtnodedevd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:virtnodedevd_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ capability ] Source udev-event Source Path udev-event Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-42.21-1.fc43.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-42.21-1.fc43.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 6.18.6-200.fc43.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Jan 18 18:57:00 UTC 2026 x86_64 Alert Count 5 First Seen 2026-01-24 13:58:28 EST Last Seen 2026-01-24 13:58:28 EST Local ID 315ce2af-75b3-430d-87fc-8f52f6a0ac42 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1769281108.451:275): avc: denied { dac_override } for pid=8414 comm="udev-event" capability=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:virtnodedevd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:virtnodedevd_t:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 Hash: udev-event,virtnodedevd_t,virtnodedevd_t,capability,dac_override Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-42.21-1.fc43.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.17.15 reason: SELinux is preventing udev-event from using the 'dac_override' capabilities. type: libreport comment: Started a VM from virt-manager. hashmarkername: setroubleshoot package: selinux-policy-targeted-42.21-1.fc43.noarch component: selinux-policy kernel: 6.18.6-200.fc43.x86_64 component: selinux-policy
