Description of problem:
Opened libreoffice writer. It appears to try and read all pid. I also recieved denials for gpm.pid mcelog.pid syslogd.pid ksmtune.pid restorecond.pid setroubleshootd.pid crond.pid auditd.pid but am only filing this one report. This did not result in a crash of libreoffice. Libreoffice still worked fine.
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin from 'read' accesses on the file firewalld.pid.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that soffice.bin should be allowed read access on the firewalld.pid 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 pool /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2013-05-14 20:53:00 UTC
Did you do an open on /run directory?

Comment 2 p1kp0kt 2013-05-17 23:55:53 UTC
I apologize for taking so long to respond. My attempt earlier this week evidently go through. 

No I did not open a file from /run. I opened libreoffice-writer from the menu of Cinnamon. It opened an empty, new document. I don't believe I had ever used libreoffice on this install. This is a approximately 3 month old install of Fedora 18. 

I am happy to provide any other details you need. I will try and find time this weekend to reproduce and if I can I will try to get a trace. I consider myself healthily skeptical of anything Java and my first instinct was that bad things were happening. Other than the pid reads I have not noticed any unusual behavior of the machine.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2013-05-18 10:40:40 UTC
Well it is strange, the only way I would see this happening would be if you opened a file browser to the /run directory.

Seems like something staff_t should not need.  Glad to see you using confined users.  Lets just close this for now, and reopen if it happens again.
