Description of problem: SELinux doesn't like it when I run "tuned-adm recommend" in bash. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Nom : tuned Architecture : noarch Version : 2.2.2 Révision : 1.fc18 Nom : selinux-policy Architecture : noarch Version : 3.11.1 Révision : 86.fc18 How reproducible: Every time on my system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a terminal 2. Run "tuned-adm recommend" Actual results: A SELinux notification pops up, details being "SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/bash from getattr access on the file /usr/sbin/dmidecode." Expected results: SELinux should not be angry about that. Additional info: I tried as root as well, and the situation is the same.
Thanks for the report, reassigning to selinux-policy component.
Please attach the AVC's. Does tuned need to execute dmidecode?

I am not entirely sure about what you ask, but I've attached the end of my /var/log/audit/audit.log file right after calling the command. I have no idea whether tuned should execute dmidecode or not. The only thing I know is that running tuned-adm with the "recommend" option will analyze stuff and tell you what power management profile is the best for you at the moment.
(In reply to comment #2) > Does tuned need to execute dmidecode? Yes, but indirectly. It detects the platform by calling the virt-what, which calls the dmidecode.
(In reply to comment #3) > Created attachment 731843 [details] > Lines appearing in /var/log/audit/audit.log when I run "'tuned-adm recommend" Thanks, please also attach the AVCs when running in permissve mode, i.e. with: # setenforce 0
Created attachment 731852 [details] Lines appearing in /var/log/audit/audit.log when I run "'tuned-adm recommend" after "setenforce 0" I've attached what happens with "setenforce 0". This time the SELinux notification is "SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/dmidecode from read access on the chr_file mem."
