Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from 'read' accesses on the chr_file mem. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed read access on the mem chr_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 rhsmcertd-worke /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:memory_device_t:s0 Target Objects mem [ chr_file ] Source rhsmcertd-worke Source Path /usr/bin/python2.7 Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages python-2.7.3-7.2.fc17.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-165.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.6.11-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 17 22:16:35 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2012-12-29 07:53:15 CST Last Seen 2012-12-29 07:53:15 CST Local ID aa71464e-b168-40e5-9fe2-ed5cf6719052 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1356789195.555:67): avc: denied { read } for pid=1777 comm="rhsmcertd-worke" name="mem" dev="devtmpfs" ino=1030 scontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:memory_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=AVC msg=audit(1356789195.555:67): avc: denied { open } for pid=1777 comm="rhsmcertd-worke" path="/dev/mem" dev="devtmpfs" ino=1030 scontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:memory_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=AVC msg=audit(1356789195.555:67): avc: denied { sys_rawio } for pid=1777 comm="rhsmcertd-worke" capability=17 scontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 tclass=capability type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1356789195.555:67): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=yes exit=E2BIG a0=7f6832a9b560 a1=0 a2=10000 a3=238 items=0 ppid=811 pid=1777 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=rhsmcertd-worke exe=/usr/bin/python2.7 subj=system_u:system_r:rhsmcertd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: rhsmcertd-worke,rhsmcertd_t,memory_device_t,chr_file,read audit2allow #============= rhsmcertd_t ============== allow rhsmcertd_t memory_device_t:chr_file { read open }; allow rhsmcertd_t self:capability sys_rawio; audit2allow -R #============= rhsmcertd_t ============== allow rhsmcertd_t memory_device_t:chr_file { read open }; allow rhsmcertd_t self:capability sys_rawio; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.6.11-1.fc17.x86_64 type: libreport
