Summary: SELinux is preventing /sbin/dhclient access to a leaked netlink_route_socket 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 netlink_route_socket. 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 unconfined_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Objects netlink_route_socket [ netlink_route_socket ] Source dhclient Source Path /sbin/dhclient Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages dhclient-4.1.1-18.P1.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-121.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name leaks Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.32.21-166.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Fri Aug 27 06:55:23 UTC 2010 i686 i686 Alert Count 3 First Seen Tue 07 Sep 2010 05:52:13 AM EDT Last Seen Fri 10 Sep 2010 07:37:33 AM EDT Local ID bd62caaa-f76e-468f-a882-920a54fd40c7 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1284118653.64:69): avc: denied { read write } for pid=3599 comm="dhclient" path="socket:[43371]" dev=sockfs ino=43371 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=netlink_route_socket node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1284118653.64:69): arch=40000003 syscall=11 success=yes exit=0 a0=9f17520 a1=9f17460 a2=9eecf48 a3=9f17460 items=0 ppid=3566 pid=3599 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="dhclient" exe="/sbin/dhclient" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from leaks,dhclient,dhcpc_t,unconfined_t,netlink_route_socket,read,write audit2allow suggests: #============= dhcpc_t ============== allow dhcpc_t unconfined_t:netlink_route_socket { read write };
