Description Sylvain Réault 2009-12-03 09:32:58 UTC
Résumé:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xauth "read" access on
/usr/share/google-gadgets/resources.gg.

Description détaillée:

[xauth a un type permissif (xauth_t). Cet accès n'a pas été refusé.]

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

Autoriser l'accès:

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 2009-12-03 14:55:11 UTC
This is a leaked file descroptor from google-gadgets, most likely.  You can ignore it as all that happened is SELinux closed it and the command finished successfully.

xauth definitely does not know anything about /usr/share/google-gadgets/resources.gg

You should report this as a bug to google, to close all file descriptors before fork/exec

fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)

I can allow it for now, just to eliminate the AVC.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-54.fc12
