Description of problem: Updated clam to 0.91.1-1 from updates-testing Upon restart of clamd daemon, throws seLinux error preventing read of /proc/meminfo Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-2.6.4-30 How reproducible: install new version of clamd, restart daemon Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just restart clamd 2. 3. Actual results: Summary SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/clamd (clamd_t) "read" to meminfo (proc_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/clamd. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/clamd 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 meminfo, restorecon -v meminfo 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.
