Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/rm from 'write' accesses on the directory extra. ***** Plugin kernel_modules (91.4 confidence) suggests ********************* If you do not think rm should try write access on extra. Then you may be under attack by a hacker, since confined applications should not need this access. Do contact your security administrator and report this issue. ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that rm should be allowed write access on the extra directory 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 rm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:modules_object_t:s0 Target Objects extra [ dir ] Source rm Source Path /usr/bin/rm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages coreutils-8.21-11.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-47.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.4-300.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 24 22:17:06 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 6 First Seen 2013-06-01 21:21:38 EDT Last Seen 2013-06-01 21:21:49 EDT Local ID 3bb4eabc-c251-4d65-9046-dac4963e0741 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1370136109.442:516): avc: denied { write } for pid=3830 comm="rm" name="extra" dev="sda2" ino=537865 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:modules_object_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1370136109.442:516): arch=x86_64 syscall=unlinkat success=no exit=EACCES a0=ffffffffffffff9c a1=1e360c0 a2=0 a3=7fff73453740 items=0 ppid=3827 pid=3830 auid=1000 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=1 tty=pts0 comm=rm exe=/usr/bin/rm subj=unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: rm,initrc_t,modules_object_t,dir,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.4-300.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
