Summary: SELinux is preventing /sbin/consoletype access to a leaked /var/lib/rpm/__db.000 file descriptor. Detailed Description: [consoletype has a permissive type (consoletype_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the consoletype command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or consoletype 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 /var/lib/rpm/__db.000. 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 unconfined_u:system_r:consoletype_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lib/rpm/__db.000 [ file ] Source consoletype Source Path /sbin/consoletype Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages initscripts-9.02-1 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) 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 23:33:04 EST 2009 i686 i686 Alert Count 2 First Seen Tue 24 Nov 2009 12:46:17 PM IST Last Seen Tue 24 Nov 2009 12:46:17 PM IST Local ID c192fa43-4d48-448f-85c6-8ab7fa7aae24 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1259046977.807:17745): avc: denied { read write } for pid=28791 comm="consoletype" path="/var/lib/rpm/__db.000" dev=sda9 ino=7300 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:consoletype_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:rpm_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1259046977.807:17745): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=yes exit=0 a0=9180f00 a1=9181430 a2=917cf10 a3=9181430 items=0 ppid=28790 pid=28791 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts0 ses=1 comm="consoletype" exe="/sbin/consoletype" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:consoletype_t:s0 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.6.32-41.fc12,leaks,consoletype,consoletype_t,rpm_var_lib_t,file,read,write audit2allow suggests: #============= consoletype_t ============== allow consoletype_t rpm_var_lib_t:file { read write };
