Description Tore Anderson 2009-11-18 16:22:05 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/avahi-autoipd "create" access.

Detailed Description:

[avahi-autoipd has a permissive type (avahi_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by avahi-autoipd. It is not expected that this
access is required by avahi-autoipd 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) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2009-11-18 17:56:50 UTC
Not sure what it is doing, but I will allow


You can add these rules for now using

# grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-47.fc12.noarch

Comment 2 Tore Anderson 2009-11-18 18:50:40 UTC
Hey Daniel,

the warning happens when I attempt to connect to my WLAN after having set the IPv4 method in NetworkManager's connection editor to «link-local addresses only».

I think perhaps what it actually want to do is toe establish some kind of a raw socket in order to detect duplicate addresses (RFC 3927 section 2.2.1).
