Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xauth access to a leaked udp_socket file descriptor. Detailed Description: [xauth has a permissive type (xauth_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the xauth command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or xauth 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 udp_socket. 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:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Objects udp_socket [ udp_socket ] Source xauth Source Path /usr/bin/xauth Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.2-7.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-55.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name leaks Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 00:06:26 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 72 First Seen Thu 12 Nov 2009 09:15:50 PM EST Last Seen Wed 09 Dec 2009 07:50:43 PM EST Local ID 6a1352f7-1595-4b24-a743-5de27f2c8547 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1260406243.798:49392): avc: denied { read write } for pid=838 comm="xauth" path="socket:[157226]" dev=sockfs ino=157226 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=udp_socket node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1260406243.798:49392): avc: denied { read write } for pid=838 comm="xauth" path="socket:[157154]" dev=sockfs ino=157154 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=udp_socket node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1260406243.798:49392): avc: denied { read write } for pid=838 comm="xauth" path="socket:[157155]" dev=sockfs ino=157155 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=udp_socket node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1260406243.798:49392): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0 a0=7fffa329954b a1=1a03040 a2=1974d50 a3=8 items=0 ppid=768 pid=838 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=3 comm="xauth" exe="/usr/bin/xauth" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.6.32-55.fc12,leaks,xauth,xauth_t,unconfined_t,udp_socket,read,write audit2allow suggests: #============= xauth_t ============== allow xauth_t unconfined_t:udp_socket { read write };
