Description of problem: I pluged a new USB printer and got this SELinux error while it was being detected. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from 'execute' accesses on the file /usr/bin/hpijs. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed execute access on the hpijs 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 udev-add-printe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:cupsd_exec_t:s0 Target Objects /usr/bin/hpijs [ file ] Source udev-add-printe Source Path /usr/bin/python2.7 Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages python-2.7.3-13.fc18.i686 Target RPM Packages hpijs-3.13.3-2.fc18.i686 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-91.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) #1 SMP Wed Apr 17 23:36:49 UTC 2013 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-04-25 10:28:29 EDT Last Seen 2013-04-25 10:28:29 EDT Local ID 6cb3290b-b620-4190-9ec3-618b3013cae0 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1366900109.680:379): avc: denied { execute } for pid=6469 comm="udev-add-printe" name="hpijs" dev="sda6" ino=6321470 scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cupsd_exec_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1366900109.680:379): arch=i386 syscall=access success=no exit=EACCES a0=90c4140 a1=1 a2=41c46000 a3=8eb1050 items=0 ppid=1 pid=6469 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=udev-add-printe exe=/usr/bin/python2.7 subj=system_u:system_r:cupsd_config_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: udev-add-printe,cupsd_config_t,cupsd_exec_t,file,execute audit2allow #============= cupsd_config_t ============== allow cupsd_config_t cupsd_exec_t:file execute; audit2allow -R require { type cupsd_config_t; type cupsd_exec_t; class file execute; } #============= cupsd_config_t ============== allow cupsd_config_t cupsd_exec_t:file execute; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.8.8-202.fc18.i686.PAE type: libreport
Could you run this in permissive mode and see if you get any more avcs? Did everything work properly? This looks like udev-add-printer is doing an access check on it. semanage permissive -a cupsd_config_t
Miroslav in F17 we had domtrans_pattern(cupsd_config_t, hplip_exec_t, hplip_t) So maybe we need. domtrans_pattern(cupsd_config_t, cupsd_exec_t, cupsd_t)
Yes, you are right. commit 8b13b1944738e604dea620a5af5eddb00c6bd21b Author: Miroslav Grepl <mgrepl> Date: Fri Apr 26 08:45:31 2013 +0200 Add transition from cupsd_config_t to cupsd_t
