Description of problem: Floppy Disk Mount triggers SELinux Targeted Policy with the error SELinux prevented mount from mounting. However the disk contents appear as normal and can be used as normal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.3.1-35.fc9 How reproducible: Easy Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert Floppy Disk 2.Select Mount 3. Actual results: Window with contents of the disk plus an AVC Denial Warning Expected results: Window with contents of the disk Additional info: host=localhost.localdomain type=AVC msg=audit(1209076968.68:189): avc: denied { write } for pid=5996 comm="mount" dev=bdev ino=0 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file
Was there any other information in the auditlogig ausearch -m avc
Created attachment 304115 [details] your request for more info using: ausearch -m avc
can you also include a copy of dmesg and anything in /var/log/message around the time of the incident?
Are you running in permissive mode? Do you see anything in /var/log/messages? What file system is on the floppy?
could you also add an audit rule and reproduce and give us that ausearch output again? a good simple rule would be auditctl -a exit,always -S kill -F pid=1
Created attachment 304125 [details] dmesg & /var/log/messages (unedited) I don't understand your question about permissive mode. The SELinux policy is at the default setting when I installed F9 Preview. The original floppy was write-protected. I just tried a different floppy (write-protect off) and there's no SELinux warnings. Both are msdos FAT12 formatted.
Created attachment 304128 [details] ausearch -m avc (after auditctl -a exit,always -S kill -F pid=1 )
This looks like a kernel issue, First it is reporting an AVC on mount on an unlabeled_t as a success.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Well, I dug out an old computer (P3 650MHz) with a floppy drive and installed F9. Tomorrow I'll have to hunt down/go buy a floppy disk and then we will see what I can do with this bug...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
