Description of problem: while trying to make a virtual machine with virtual machine manager and xen SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm from 'module_request' accesses on the system . ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that qemu-dm should be allowed module_request access on the system 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 qemu-dm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xend_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 Target Objects [ system ] Source qemu-dm Source Path /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages xen-runtime-4.2.1-5.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages 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 4 First Seen 2013-02-05 18:20:24 CST Last Seen 2013-02-05 19:01:16 CST Local ID bfee4242-65fd-4ded-acce-a08a1d7d37cc Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1360112476.522:560): avc: denied { module_request } for pid=26678 comm="qemu-dm" kmod="char-major-10-200" scontext=system_u:system_r:xend_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 tclass=system type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1360112476.522:560): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=ENODEV a0=4f2de5 a1=2 a2=7fff9d03cccc a3=3e15330500 items=0 ppid=2536 pid=26678 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=qemu-dm exe=/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm subj=system_u:system_r:xend_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: qemu-dm,xend_t,kernel_t,system,module_request audit2allow audit2allow -R Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
