RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michal Nowak 2010-07-15 07:09:55 UTC 
Summary:

SELinux is preventing abrtd "unlink" access on /var/run/abrt.socket.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by abrtd. It is not expected that this access is
required by abrtd 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 2 Milos Malik 2010-07-15 08:40:39 UTC 
The abrt.socket file on your machine is mislabelled.

# matchpathcon  /var/run/abrt.socket
/var/run/abrt.socket	system_u:object_r:abrt_var_run_t:s0
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-07-15 12:47:21 UTC 
Any idea how this happened?  Did you run abrt outside of the service script?
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2010-07-15 12:49:06 UTC 
*** Bug 614751 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Michal Nowak 2010-07-15 13:29:21 UTC 
Yes. When testing the daemon I have to stop the service and start daemon this way manually, e.g. `abrtd -dvvv`.
Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2010-07-15 14:21:14 UTC 
Well that will run it under a different context, causing these AVC messages.  If you run within an initrc_exec_t labeled shell it will work.  Or run

runcon -t initrc_t -- bash -c abrtd -dvvv

The right transitions will happen.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 15:10:46 UTC
