Description of problem: Occurs on boot of a Fedora 19 live image built from current repositories. SELinux is preventing gdm from 'execute' accesses on the file gdm-simple-slave. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that gdm should be allowed execute access on the gdm-simple-slave 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 gdm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:root_t:s0 Target Objects gdm-simple-slave [ file ] Source gdm Source Path gdm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-22.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.0-0.rc3.git0.3.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 18 21:39:31 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-03-19 19:39:23 EDT Last Seen 2013-03-19 19:39:23 EDT Local ID 9404611e-3c5d-4300-9a7d-ed9364d8a21f Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1363736363.965:85): avc: denied { execute } for pid=784 comm="gdm" name="gdm-simple-slave" dev="dm-0" ino=180453 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:root_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1363736363.965:85): avc: denied { read open } for pid=784 comm="gdm" path="/usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave" dev="dm-0" ino=180453 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:root_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1363736363.965:85): avc: denied { execute_no_trans } for pid=784 comm="gdm" path="/usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave" dev="dm-0" ino=180453 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:root_t:s0 tclass=file Hash: gdm,xdm_t,root_t,file,execute audit2allow #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t root_t:file { read execute open execute_no_trans }; audit2allow -R require { type xdm_t; type root_t; class file { read execute open execute_no_trans }; } #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t root_t:file { read execute open execute_no_trans }; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.0-0.rc3.git0.3.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
Final blocker: "In most cases, there must be no SELinux 'AVC: denied' messages or abrt crash notifications on initial boot and subsequent login"
