Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-strict-2.4.6-295.el5 selinux-policy-minimum-2.4.6-295.el5 selinux-policy-devel-2.4.6-295.el5 selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-295.el5 selinux-policy-2.4.6-295.el5 selinux-policy-mls-2.4.6-295.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install MLS policy on a RHEL-5.6 machine, force filesystem auto-relabel 2. modify /etc/selinux/config so that the machine will start up with MLS policy in permissive mode 3. reboot into single mode 4. log in via console 5. run dmesg Actual results: type=1400 audit(1290781239.496:3): avc: denied { signull } for pid=923 comm="modprobe" scontext=system_u:system_r:insmod_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tclass=process Expected results: no AVCs
So it happens always after reboot into single mode?
Yes. Always.
Looks like something that should be allowed.
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-296.el5
Another very similar AVC showed up: type=1400 audit(1291287482.776:3): avc: denied { signull } for pid=1033 comm="modprobe" scontext=system_u:system_r:insmod_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pam_console_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tclass=process
Maybe modprobe is sending signull to all processes?
