Description Felipe Hommen 2010-05-23 10:23:07 UTC
Resúmen:

SELinux está negando a
/var/lib/boinc/projects/einstein.phys.uwm.edu/einsteinbinary_ABP2_1.11_i686-pc-linux-gnu__ABP2cuda23
el acceso "read write" on nvidiactl

Descripción Detallada:

[boinc_client es un tipo permisivo (boinc_t). Este acceso no fue denegado.]

SELinux negó el acceso requerido por einsteinbinary_. No se esperaba que este
acceso fuera requerido por einsteinbinary_, y puede ser indicio de un intento de
ataque. También es posible que la versión específica o la configuración de
la aplicación esté provocando esta necesidad de acceso adicional

Permitiendo Acceso:

Puede generar un módulo de política local para permitir este acceso. Vea FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Por favor, informe
este error.

Comment 3 Daniel Stripes 2010-05-28 18:32:22 UTC
This appears to not be restricted to the Einstein project client.  I have never run the Einstein project and am seeing this issue with "read write" and "open" on nvidiactl.

Comment 4 Gilboa Davara 2010-06-03 15:16:28 UTC
I'm seeing it on seti@home BOINC project on multiple F13/x86_64 machines. (rpmfusion nVidia proprietary drivers)
It seems that if you're using a recent project binary coupled with nvidia hardware and proprietary driver, it'll automatically attempt to enable CUDA processing.

However, as the open source driver does not support CUDA, I doubt that this is a Fedora-proper issue. (Problem is - its not an rpmfusion issue either...)

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2010-07-28 06:12:45 UTC
This is fixed in the latest selinux-policy.

Comment 6 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2010-08-24 18:38:42 UTC
The problem reappeared in Fedora 14 Alpha.

Comment 7 vitor.dominor 2010-09-29 01:50:11 UTC
I also see this issue with the latest boinc client, on Fedora 13, even though I updated to selinux policy version 3.7.19-62.fc13 (updates-testing), in order to solve other selinux policy bugs.
I still get these raw avcs among others (related to the project cosmology@home):

I have already tried to do restorecon -v /dev/nvidia* and semanage fcontext -m -t xserver_misc_device_t "/dev/nvidia*" (in an attempt to make the change more permanent). By using system-config-selinux, I verified this change to the policy is inserted and I also verified that there is already by default a file context labelling xserver_misc_device_t:s0 to /dev/nvidia.*. However, after restart the two files /dev/nvidia0 and /dev/nvdiactl are relabelled to device_t:s0.

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2010-09-29 12:50:27 UTC
Then that is either a bug in udev or the kernel module that creates the device.

udev is supposed to make sure files in /dev are labelled correctly.
