Summary: SELinux is preventing /bin/bash access to a leaked /root file descriptor. Detailed Description: [prelink has a permissive type (prelink_cron_system_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by the prelink command. It looks like this is either a leaked descriptor or prelink 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. 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:prelink_cron_system_t:s0-s0:c0.c 1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Target Objects /root [ dir ] Source prelink Source Path /bin/bash Port <Unknown> Host megadoomer Source RPM Packages bash-4.1.7-1.fc13 Target RPM Packages filesystem-2.4.31-1.fc13 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.7.19-44.fc13 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name leaks Host Name megadoomer Platform Linux megadoomer 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 23 17:14:44 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 7 First Seen Thu 12 Aug 2010 09:44:50 AM EDT Last Seen Wed 18 Aug 2010 03:29:29 AM EDT Local ID 19f884dd-d244-418c-9e78-778ad2db9714 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=megadoomer type=AVC msg=audit(1282116569.360:22783): avc: denied { read } for pid=21989 comm="prelink" path="/root" dev=dm-1 ino=44 scontext=system_u:system_r:prelink_cron_system_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=dir node=megadoomer type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1282116569.360:22783): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0 a0=e1d870 a1=e1e100 a2=e1d530 a3=10 items=0 ppid=21491 pid=21989 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=65 comm="prelink" exe="/bin/bash" subj=system_u:system_r:prelink_cron_system_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)
This is a bug in cronie. We added a fix to the latest selinux-policy. yum update selinux-policy-targeted
