Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/mdadm from 'getattr' accesses on the chr_file /dev/mem. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that mdadm should be allowed getattr 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 mdadm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:logwatch_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:memory_device_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/mem [ chr_file ] Source mdadm Source Path /usr/sbin/mdadm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages mdadm-3.2.6-12.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-73.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.7.6-201.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 4 15:54:08 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 7 First Seen 2013-02-06 08:07:07 GMT Last Seen 2013-02-06 08:07:25 GMT Local ID 34294d29-9e36-438a-a692-8b549bc40615 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1360138045.80:5630): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=2652 comm="mdadm" path="/dev/mem" dev="devtmpfs" ino=4528 scontext=system_u:system_r:logwatch_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:memory_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1360138045.80:5630): arch=x86_64 syscall=newfstatat success=no exit=EACCES a0=3 a1=25b9b53 a2=7fff26071140 a3=100 items=0 ppid=2651 pid=2652 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4 tty=(none) comm=mdadm exe=/usr/sbin/mdadm subj=system_u:system_r:logwatch_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: mdadm,logwatch_t,memory_device_t,chr_file,getattr audit2allow #============= logwatch_t ============== allow logwatch_t memory_device_t:chr_file getattr; audit2allow -R #============= logwatch_t ============== allow logwatch_t memory_device_t:chr_file getattr; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.7.6-201.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
This is just a sample to create a bz, have started to get 30-40 avcs, with mdadm as the common component. rpm -qa | grep selinux selinux-policy-doc-3.11.1-73.fc18.noarch libselinux-python-2.1.12-7.fc18.x86_64 libselinux-2.1.12-7.fc18.x86_64 selinux-policy-targeted-3.11.1-73.fc18.noarch libselinux-utils-2.1.12-7.fc18.x86_64 selinux-policy-3.11.1-73.fc18.noarch selinux-policy-devel-3.11.1-73.fc18.noarch
Created attachment 693796 [details] audit.log Had to upload audit.log, as kept using wrong syntax with ausearch: ausearch -c mdadm 2>&1 ausearch.log ausearch.log is an unsupported option
Could you please use the latest policy from updates-testing # yum update selinux-policy-targeted --enablerepo=updates-testing

Ok, please use the latest build from koji for now http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=382238
