Description John Poelstra 2008-04-26 22:08:05 UTC
Description of problem:
starting up system-config-selinux return an AVC error saying that SELinux has
denied semodule access to potentially mislabeled file(s)
(/home/jonu/.xsession-errors.

ran restorecon -v '/home/jonu/.xsession-errors' and problem still persists

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-35.fc9.noarch

How reproducible:
100% 


Summary:

SELinux is preventing the semodule from using potentially mislabeled files
(/home/jonu/.xsession-errors).

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux has denied semodule access to potentially mislabeled file(s)
(/home/jonu/.xsession-errors). This means that SELinux will not allow semodule
to use these files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory
or tmp directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is
that the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications
are not allowed to access.

Allowing Access:

If you want semodule to access this files, you need to relabel them using
restorecon -v '/home/jonu/.xsession-errors'. You might want to relabel the
entire directory using restorecon -R -v '/home/jonu'.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2008-04-28 13:07:19 UTC
You can allow this for now.

# audit2allow -M mypol -l -i /var/log/audit/audit.log
# semodule -i mypol.pp

It will be dontaudted in the future
