Description of problem: running as root (ya I know lol) in default WM and I mounted a HD partition (VFAT) named BACKUP. I was browsing this folder and looking at old saved funny photos and got this error. No biggie. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer from using the 'sys_tty_config' capabilities. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that totem-video-thumbnailer should have the sys_tty_config capability 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 totem-video-thu /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects [ capability ] Source totem-video-thu Source Path /usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages totem-3.6.3-2.fc18.i686 Target RPM Packages 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) 3.8.8-202.fc18.i686 #1 SMP Wed Apr 17 23:46:26 UTC 2013 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-04-26 13:59:05 EDT Last Seen 2013-04-26 13:59:05 EDT Local ID c9b80586-2959-4144-95f9-12fe37e3252a Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1366999145.135:382): avc: denied { sys_tty_config } for pid=3345 comm="totem-video-thu" capability=26 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1366999145.135:382): arch=i386 syscall=ioctl success=yes exit=0 a0=1 a1=5401 a2=bfbf9528 a3=bfbf9574 items=0 ppid=3194 pid=3345 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=1 tty=(none) comm=totem-video-thu exe=/usr/bin/totem-video-thumbnailer subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: totem-video-thu,thumb_t,thumb_t,capability,sys_tty_config audit2allow #============= thumb_t ============== allow thumb_t self:capability sys_tty_config; audit2allow -R require { type thumb_t; class capability sys_tty_config; } #============= thumb_t ============== allow thumb_t self:capability sys_tty_config; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.8.8-202.fc18.i686 type: libreport
