Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/libvirtd from using the 'signull' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that libvirtd should be allowed signull access on processes labeled svirt_t 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 libvirtd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context staff_u:staff_r:staff_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context staff_u:staff_r:svirt_t:s0:c8,c270 Target Objects [ process ] Source libvirtd Source Path /usr/sbin/libvirtd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages BDB2053 Freeing read locks for locker 0x1907: 5540/139953121544128 BDB2053 Freeing read locks for locker 0x1908: 5540/139953121544128 BDB2053 Freeing read locks for locker 0x1909: 5540/139953121544128 BDB2053 Freeing read locks for locker 0x190a: 5540/139953121544128 libvirt- daemon-0.10.2.2-1.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-63.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.6.0-0.rc1.git6.1.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 14 12:13:12 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2012-12-15 00:32:45 CET Last Seen 2012-12-15 00:37:02 CET Local ID aad3591e-4ada-4294-bfc5-399ffeda6294 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1355528222.741:12278): avc: denied { signull } for pid=3760 comm="libvirtd" scontext=staff_u:staff_r:staff_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=staff_u:staff_r:svirt_t:s0:c8,c270 tclass=process type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1355528222.741:12278): arch=x86_64 syscall=kill success=yes exit=0 a0=11e2 a1=0 a2=0 a3=5 items=0 ppid=1 pid=3760 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 tty=(none) ses=11 comm=libvirtd exe=/usr/sbin/libvirtd subj=staff_u:staff_r:staff_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: libvirtd,staff_t,svirt_t,process,signull audit2allow #============= staff_t ============== allow staff_t svirt_t:process signull; audit2allow -R #============= staff_t ============== allow staff_t svirt_t:process signull; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.6.0-0.rc1.git6.1.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
