Description of problem: The alert was raised while using gnome-boxes to create a new local box from the Fedora 18 beta x86_64 Live Desktop ISO file. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/qemu-kvm from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/resolv.conf. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that qemu-kvm should be allowed read access on the resolv.conf file 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 qemu-kvm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c524,c817 Target Context system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 Target Objects /etc/resolv.conf [ file ] Source qemu-kvm Source Path /usr/bin/qemu-kvm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages qemu-system-x86-1.2.0-24.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-62.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 11 18:01:27 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 110 First Seen 2012-12-12 11:57:10 CST Last Seen 2012-12-12 12:06:29 CST Local ID 73eda860-290b-4953-a518-3b2f9d88d0a5 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1355335589.874:896): avc: denied { read } for pid=6535 comm="qemu-kvm" name="resolv.conf" dev="dm-1" ino=919333 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c524,c817 tcontext=system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1355335589.874:896): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fee1a3df0d9 a1=0 a2=1b6 a3=238 items=0 ppid=1 pid=6535 auid=997000001 uid=997000001 gid=997000001 euid=997000001 suid=997000001 fsuid=997000001 egid=997000001 sgid=997000001 fsgid=997000001 tty=(none) ses=5 comm=qemu-kvm exe=/usr/bin/qemu-kvm subj=unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c524,c817 key=(null) Hash: qemu-kvm,svirt_t,net_conf_t,file,read audit2allow audit2allow -R Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
Please raise the Severity of this bug report from the Automatic Bug Reporting Tools' default setting of unspecified to high or urgent as it is not possible to create a new box with gnome-boxes. This makes it impossible to do any further testing of the product.
