:SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/gpg from 'write' accesses on the directory /home/christensene/.gnupg.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that gpg should be allowed write access on the .gnupg directory 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 gpg /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Do you know what you were doing when this happened?

Comment 4 eric 2012-12-17 16:48:27 UTC
I believe I just had logged into my box when I saw the SEAlert pop up.  I'm not quite sure why gnupg wouldn't have access to my ~/.gnupg directory as that is where the data is kept.  Perhaps I'm reading the SEAlert incorrectly?

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 00:54:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This looks like the WebPG plugin in firefox is causing this, see bug #1004707.

WebPG calls /usr/bin/gpg and therefore SELinux blocks it.

At least in my case, might this also be the reason on your machine?

*** Bug 1004707 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2013-09-05 15:35:50 UTC
It is openeing the directory for write.

You probably need to turn off the transition if you want this plugin to work.  Since we really do not want plugins having the ability to write to this directory, we probably do not want them to read here either.
