Description of problem: SELinux show a AVC Denial while Anaconda is install the grub loader, and the message is: " SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/setfiles from 'read, write' accesses on the chr_file /dev/mapper/control. ***** Plugin leaks (86.2 confidence) suggests ****************************** If you want to ignore setfiles trying to read write access the control chr_file, because you believe it should not need this access. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to dontaudit this access. Do # grep /usr/sbin/setfiles /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp ***** Plugin catchall (14.7 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that setfiles should be allowed read write access on the control chr_file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
