Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant from using the sys_module capability. ***** Plugin sys_module (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************* If you do not believe that /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant should be attempting to modify the kernel by loading a kernel module. Then a process might be attempting to hack into your system. Do contact your security administrator and report this issue. ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that wpa_supplicant should have the sys_module capability by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep wpa_supplicant /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Quellkontext system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Zielkontext system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Zielobjekte Unknown [ capability ] Quelle wpa_supplicant Quellpfad /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant Port <Unbekannt> Host Ostfriesland RPM-Pakete der Quelle wpa_supplicant-0.6.8-10.fc14 RPM-Pakete des Ziels Richtlinien-RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-37.fc14 SELinux aktiviert True Richtlinientyp targeted Enforcing-Modus Enforcing Rechnername Ostfriesland Plattform Linux Ostfriesland 2.6.35.12-88.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Thu Mar 31 22:12:38 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Anzahl der Alarme 1 Zuerst gesehen So 17 Apr 2011 01:43:44 CEST Zuletzt gesehen So 17 Apr 2011 01:43:44 CEST Lokale ID b20ae761-e339-4726-a923-37e30c2e15ab Raw-Audit-Meldungen type=AVC msg=audit(1302997424.139:141): avc: denied { sys_module } for pid=1518 comm="wpa_supplicant" capability=16 scontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1302997424.139:141): arch=i386 syscall=ioctl success=no exit=ENODEV a0=8 a1=8933 a2=bff03fdc a3=8 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1518 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=wpa_supplicant exe=/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant subj=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: wpa_supplicant,NetworkManager_t,NetworkManager_t,capability,sys_module audit2allow #============= NetworkManager_t ============== allow NetworkManager_t self:capability sys_module; audit2allow -R #============= NetworkManager_t ============== allow NetworkManager_t self:capability sys_module; Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wpa_supplicant.i686 1:0.6.8-10.fc14 selinux-policy.noarch 3.9.7-37.fc14 selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 3.9.7-37.fc14 How reproducible: every time on startup/wakeup from suspend Steps to Reproduce: 1.
