Description long 2009-03-30 17:57:12 UTC
Description of problem:
I run restorecon and I get an sealert that is fairly worthless.  Doesn't tell me what file is causing the problem or anything.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.5.13-49.fc10.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run /sbin/restorecon -e /home/long/mnt -R -v /home/long/pc from root account
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing restorecon (setfiles_t) "read write" unconfined_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by restorecon. It is not expected that this
access is required by restorecon 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 FAQ
(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 bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Expected results: Either no error at all or an error message that actually tells me what file is causing the problem.


Additional info:

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2009-03-30 18:04:33 UTC
I believe this is a leaked file descriptor from konsole.  

KDE is leaking file descriptors that a confined application gets handed.  SELinux closes the open descriptor and reports the error.
