Description bastian.frank 2009-12-02 17:27:49 UTC
Zusammenfassung:

SELinux is preventing /bin/bash "write" access on /var/log/prelink.

Detaillierte Beschreibung:

[prelink hat einen toleranten Typ (prelink_cron_system_t). Dieser Zugriff wurde
nicht verweigert.]

SELinux denied access requested by prelink. It is not expected that this access
is required by prelink 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.

Zugriff erlauben:

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 2009-12-02 18:45:50 UTC
You can add these rules for now using

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

I'm having a similar problem involving bash and prelink, only this time the
unwritable file is /var/lib/misc/prelink.quick.

I already have selinux-policy-3.6.32-55.fc12.noarch installed.

Should I apply the same workaround suggested on comment #1? Or should I file a
separate bug report?

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2009-12-09 13:25:51 UTC
restorecon -R -v /var/lib

Should fix.

Make sure you have selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.32-55.fc12 installed also
