Description Vytas 2010-08-04 06:11:41 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /sbin/dhclient access to a leaked /root/barak_net.sh file
descriptor.

Detailed Description:

[dhclient has a permissive type (dhcpc_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by the dhclient command. It looks like this is
either a leaked descriptor or dhclient 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 /root/barak_net.sh. 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)

Comment 1 Vytas 2010-08-04 06:13:58 UTC
barak_net.sh here:
killall dhclient
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether MAC_here
ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient -v eth0

I use it for one of my net connections.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-08-04 19:08:40 UTC
The problem is you have a script that is trying to append to a file in your /root dir.  If you moved this file to /var/log and ran restorecon on it, the code would work.

Or you can add custom policy

You can add these rules for now using

# grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
