Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/boinc_client from 'getattr' accesses on the chr_file /dev/input/mice. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that boinc_client should be allowed getattr access on the mice 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 boinc_client /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:boinc_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:mouse_device_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/input/mice [ chr_file ] Source boinc_client Source Path /usr/bin/boinc_client Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages boinc-client-7.0.65-1.git79b00ef.fc18.i686 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-94.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.8.11-200.fc18.i686 #1 SMP Wed May 1 20:39:37 UTC 2013 i686 i686 Alert Count 13 First Seen 2013-05-11 14:12:00 EDT Last Seen 2013-05-11 14:13:40 EDT Local ID ac4eb462-2b56-41e3-b55b-289084e403d2 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1368296020.410:351): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=927 comm="boinc_client" path="/dev/input/mice" dev="devtmpfs" ino=1270 scontext=system_u:system_r:boinc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mouse_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1368296020.410:351): arch=i386 syscall=stat64 success=no exit=EACCES a0=80f5941 a1=bfa2f000 a2=4717a000 a3=0 items=0 ppid=924 pid=927 auid=4294967295 uid=992 gid=989 euid=992 suid=992 fsuid=992 egid=989 sgid=989 fsgid=989 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=boinc_client exe=/usr/bin/boinc_client subj=system_u:system_r:boinc_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: boinc_client,boinc_t,mouse_device_t,chr_file,getattr audit2allow #============= boinc_t ============== allow boinc_t mouse_device_t:chr_file getattr; audit2allow -R require { type boinc_t; } #============= boinc_t ============== dev_getattr_mouse_dev(boinc_t) Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.8.11-200.fc18.i686 type: libreport
