Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/bash from 'getattr' accesses on the file /usr/bin/kmod. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that bash should be allowed getattr access on the kmod 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 ovs-ctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:insmod_exec_t:s0 Target Objects /usr/bin/kmod [ file ] Source ovs-ctl Source Path /usr/bin/bash Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages bash-4.2.39-3.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages kmod-10-1.fc18.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-66.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 2 First Seen 2012-12-28 15:45:09 CST Last Seen 2012-12-28 15:52:04 CST Local ID 30f37de9-4fc5-45ac-aa9b-7c2c2034c620 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1356731524.782:21): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1881 comm="ovs-ctl" path="/usr/bin/kmod" dev="dm-0" ino=1724555 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:insmod_exec_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1356731524.782:21): arch=x86_64 syscall=stat success=yes exit=0 a0=133d650 a1=7fff1d274e70 a2=7fff1d274e70 a3=f items=0 ppid=1879 pid=1881 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=ovs-ctl exe=/usr/bin/bash subj=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: ovs-ctl,openvswitch_t,insmod_exec_t,file,getattr audit2allow audit2allow -R Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
Does ovs-ctl execute kmod? Are you getting more AVC msgs? Could you re-test it and execute # ausearch -m avc -ts recent Thank you.
The large majority of the kmod-related AVCs seem to occur when the Open vSwitch daemon starts. I just rebooted with the daemon (and all bridges) disabled, and starting ovs-vswitchd manually (sudo systemctl start openvswitch.service) gave me the following: type=AVC msg=audit(1357140555.479:49):

I just shut down a VM with 4 Open vSwitch VNICs, and I only received two of these messages. Then I shut down a different 4-VNIC VM, and saw no denials at all. I have not seen any kmod-related AVCs when running ovs-vsctl directly. The other denials I'm getting are the netlink socket-related ones in bug 890762.
One other thing, that I should probably state explicitly, is that all of my bridges appear to be working just fine. In fact, you can see that many of the AVC-generating system calls are succeeding, even though the system is in enforcing mode.
That is probably because openvswich_t is a permissive domain. Looks like it is just scanning for loaded modules and then asking the kernel to load them. I just added these rules to F19 policy. Miroslav please back port.
