Description Lawrence Graves 2010-01-28 04:59:49 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/abrt-hook-python "getattr" access on /.

Detailed Description:

[abrt-hook-pytho has a permissive type (abrt_helper_t). This access was not
denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by abrt-hook-pytho. It is not expected that this
access is required by abrt-hook-pytho 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.

Allowing Access:

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 2 Guy Streeter 2010-01-28 22:43:43 UTC
This happens every time a python script errors out. It's really annoying.

 Just like to note, I have installed the updated version noted above, from updates-testing, rebooted my computer, and I still get the same error. It appears when I first login.

 I am using F12 x86_64

Comment 4 wherebrandon_fedora_bugzilla 2010-01-30 17:23:39 UTC
i installed fedora 12 on a lenovo W500.  When i ran the updates this morning i
got this error, and signed up for a redhad bugzilla id, and reported the
error(it is the first of 8 selinux errors)

I have not used alternate/3rd party repos.  i haven't even put in m3 decoding
or dvd watching.

this issue does still exist on 100% redhat/fedora distributed packages, so it
DOES NOT WORK FOR ME.

i will be happy to provide any information from my system to help solve the
problem.

this is preventing yum from working.

i really don't want to disable selinux.  it is there for a good reason.    

same as dagan...
