Summary: SELinux is preventing /bin/plymouth access to a leaked fifo_file file descriptor. Detailed Description: [plymouth has a permissive type (plymouth_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the plymouth command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or plymouth output was redirected to a file it is not allowed to access. Leaks usually can be ignored since SELinux is just closing the leak and reporting the error. The application does not use the descriptor, so it will run properly. If this is a redirection, you will not get output in the fifo_file. You should generate a bugzilla on selinux-policy, and it will get routed to the appropriate package. You can safely ignore this avc. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:plymouth_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:hald_t:s0 Target Objects fifo_file [ fifo_file ] Source plymouth Source Path /bin/plymouth Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages plymouth-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.18.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-41.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name leaks Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:41:45 EST 2009 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Wed 11 Nov 2009 08:37:00 AM EST Last Seen Wed 11 Nov 2009 08:37:00 AM EST Local ID dbde0281-a8e2-4549-a317-554093f56935 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1257946620.107:36288): avc: denied { read } for pid=2486 comm="plymouth" path="pipe:[19568]" dev=pipefs ino=19568 scontext=system_u:system_r:plymouth_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:hald_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1257946620.107:36288): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=yes exit=0 a0=9f6ca48 a1=9f6d7b0 a2=9f4f908 a3=9f6d7b0 items=0 ppid=2482 pid=2486 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="plymouth" exe="/bin/plymouth" subj=system_u:system_r:plymouth_t:s0 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.6.32-41.fc12,leaks,plymouth,plymouth_t,hald_t,fifo_file,read audit2allow suggests: #============= plymouth_t ============== allow plymouth_t hald_t:fifo_file read;
