Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/abrt-pyhook-helper access to a leaked /dev/ptmx file descriptor. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the abrt-pyhook-hel command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or abrt-pyhook-hel 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 /dev/ptmx. 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:unconfined_r:abrt_helper_t:s0-s0:c0.c 1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:ptmx_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/ptmx [ chr_file ] Source abrt-pyhook-hel Source Path /usr/bin/abrt-pyhook-helper Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages abrt-addon-python-1.0.0-1.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-46.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name leaks Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:11:14 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Wed 02 Dec 2009 12:40:59 AM CST Last Seen Wed 02 Dec 2009 12:40:59 AM CST Local ID 63f2e709-5e8a-4772-8765-6dc122257ef5 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1259736059.69:250): avc: denied { read write } for pid=14543 comm="abrt-pyhook-hel" path="/dev/ptmx" dev=tmpfs ino=2088 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:abrt_helper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ptmx_t:s0 tclass=chr_file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1259736059.69:250): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0 a0=497abc0 a1=332f390 a2=7fff190aa120 a3=65726168732f7273 items=0 ppid=14497 pid=14543 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="abrt-pyhook-hel" exe="/usr/bin/abrt-pyhook-helper" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:abrt_helper_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.6.32-46.fc12,leaks,abrt-pyhook-hel,abrt_helper_t,ptmx_t,chr_file,read,write audit2allow suggests: #============= abrt_helper_t ============== allow abrt_helper_t ptmx_t:chr_file { read write };
