Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer from 'write' accesses on the sock_file socket. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that evince-thumbnailer should be allowed write access on the socket sock_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 evince-thumbnai /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:nscd_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects socket [ sock_file ] Source evince-thumbnai Source Path /usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages totem-3.6.3-2.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-69.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.7.1-2.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 4 00:10:48 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 975 First Seen 2013-01-06 01:35:56 CET Last Seen 2013-01-06 17:02:50 CET Local ID 1f51084a-3a2b-4501-aa92-d61c77927dcc Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1357488170.729:509): avc: denied { write } for pid=6932 comm="totem-video-thu" name="socket" dev="tmpfs" ino=20887 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nscd_var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1357488170.729:509): arch=x86_64 syscall=connect success=no exit=EACCES a0=3 a1=7ffffd5ebee0 a2=6e a3=7ffffd5ebf00 items=0 ppid=28271 pid=6932 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 ses=2 tty=(none) comm=totem-video-thu exe=/usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: evince-thumbnai,thumb_t,nscd_var_run_t,sock_file,write audit2allow #============= thumb_t ============== allow thumb_t nscd_var_run_t:sock_file write; audit2allow -R #============= thumb_t ============== allow thumb_t nscd_var_run_t:sock_file write; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.7.1-2.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
Not sure if the bug I experienced is similar, but I got this SELinux warning when I opened a PDF file in Evince (and I've seen more warnings related to evince-thumbnailer, too): SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer from search access on the directory 1684. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that evince-thumbnailer should be allowed search access on the 1684 directory by default.
