Description Simon 2010-02-15 12:56:04 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /bin/hostname access to a leaked /dev/null file
descriptor.

Detailed Description:

[dnsdomainname has a permissive type (hostname_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by the dnsdomainname command. It looks like this
is either a leaked descriptor or dnsdomainname 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 /dev/null. 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)

Could you update your selinux-policy

# yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing selinux-policy-targeted

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 22:05:16 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
