Description Tomas Hoger 2009-03-12 14:10:12 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #489894 +++

dbus patch for CVE-2008-4311 introduces logging of denied message bus messages.
To make the messages more useful, dbus-daemon reads /proc/*/cmdline and
include its content in log message.  Such access is, however, prohibited by
current selinux-policy in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.  To avoid AVCs for dbus
log messages, policy should allow dbus-daemon to:

  domain_read_all_domains_state(system_dbusd_t)

Note: this fix is already included in selinux-policy in Rawhide / Fedora 11.
