Description Malcolm Purdy 2007-07-31 15:01:40 UTC
Description of problem:
Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/cupsd (cupsd_t) "execute_no_trans" to
    /usr/lib/cups/backend/mfp (lib_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/cupsd. It is not expected that
    this access is required by /usr/sbin/cupsd and this access may signal an
    intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or
    configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could try to
    restore the default system file context for /usr/lib/cups/backend/mfp,
    restorecon -v /usr/lib/cups/backend/mfp If this does not work, there is
    currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead,  you can generate
    a local policy module to allow this access - see
    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable
    SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
    recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
    against this package.

How reproducible:
I am trying to install my Samsung ML-2010 under F7--it worked under F6 with no
problems. I installed the latest printer driver from Samsung
(20070720162817953_UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz) and the printer shows up as
installed, but still cannot print to it. SELinux keeps blocking the attempt to
communicate with the printer.

This is a mislabled file

restorecon /usr/lib/cups/backend/mfp

should fix it.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2007-07-31 17:05:40 UTC
Tim,

Does anything exec these backend scripts other then cups?

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2007-07-31 17:14:16 UTC
No, nothing.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2007-07-31 18:13:02 UTC
Default labeling on the backend directory fixed in selinux-policy-2.6.4-30

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2007-08-22 14:08:12 UTC
Closing as fixes are in the current release
