Summary: SELinux is preventing /sbin/auditctl access to a leaked fifo_file file descriptor. Detailed Description: [auditctl has a permissive type (auditctl_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the auditctl command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or auditctl 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 fifo_file. 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:auditctl_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 Target Objects fifo_file [ fifo_file ] Source auditctl Source Path /sbin/auditctl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages audit-2.0.4-2.fc13 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.7.8-5.fc13 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name leaks Host Name (removed) Platform Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33-0.25.rc6.git0.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Jan 30 00:43:44 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Mon 01 Feb 2010 07:21:57 PM EST Last Seen Mon 01 Feb 2010 07:21:57 PM EST Local ID aa853383-8316-4b2f-a3ec-1efeb02d1bb8 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=localhost.localdomain type=AVC msg=audit(1265070117.598:31022): avc: denied { read } for pid=1843 comm="auditctl" path="pipe:[15512]" dev=pipefs ino=15512 scontext=system_u:system_r:auditctl_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file node=localhost.localdomain type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1265070117.598:31022): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0 a0=6e98b0 a1=7256e0 a2=7291c0 a3=7fffffffc530 items=0 ppid=1830 pid=1843 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="auditctl" exe="/sbin/auditctl" subj=system_u:system_r:auditctl_t:s0 key=(null) Hash String generated from leaks,auditctl,auditctl_t,init_t,fifo_file,read audit2allow suggests: #============= auditctl_t ============== allow auditctl_t init_t:fifo_file read;
