Description of problem:

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/mugshot (user_mugshot_t) "connectto" to
    <Unknown> (user_dbusd_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/bin/mugshot. It is not expected that
    this access is required by /usr/bin/mugshot 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
    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.

avc: denied { connectto } for comm=mugshot egid=512 euid=511

        Was caused by:
                Missing or disabled TE allow rule.
                Allow rules may exist but be disabled by boolean settings; check
boolean settings.
                You can see the necessary allow rules by running audit2allow
with this audit message as input.

How reproducible:
Create a policy for a domain that uses dbus. Run the confined domain as user_r.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a policy for a application domain that uses dbus.
2. Run the domain as user_r
  
Actual results:
Cannot connect to session bus

Expected results:
Not sure. I hoped that these domains would run for a user in the user_r space,

Additional info:

allow user_mugshot_t user_dbusd_t:unix_stream_socket connectto;
will not allow this access.

mono_t is also not able to do this when you run mono_t as user_r.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2007-10-19 14:41:35 UTC
Your policy is wrong.

You need a line like this in your per role instantiation.

dbus_user_bus_client_template($1, $1_mugshot, $1_mugshot_t)
