Description of problem: Have installed ./hplip-3.13.6.bin SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from 'create' accesses on the file strings.pyc. ***** Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests ******************** If you want to allow python2.7 to have create access on the strings.pyc file Then you need to change the label on strings.pyc Do # semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'strings.pyc' where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: cupsd_interface_t, cupsd_lock_t, cupsd_log_t, cupsd_rw_etc_t, cupsd_tmp_t, cupsd_var_lib_t, cupsd_var_run_t, krb5_host_rcache_t, print_spool_t. Then execute: restorecon -v 'strings.pyc' ***** Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed create access on the strings.pyc 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 python /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 Target Objects strings.pyc [ file ] Source python Source Path /usr/bin/python2.7 Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages python-2.7.5-1.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-59.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 4 15:10:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 19 First Seen 2013-07-08 12:34:59 IST Last Seen 2013-07-08 12:34:59 IST Local ID adda979e-a951-4454-a2ff-d0e2311108d7 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1373283299.217:493): avc: denied { create } for pid=2218 comm="python" name="strings.pyc" scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1373283299.217:493): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=1f5a410 a1=2c1 a2=81a4 a3=3bf83c15d0 items=0 ppid=2204 pid=2218 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=7 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=7 sgid=7 fsgid=7 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=python exe=/usr/bin/python2.7 subj=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: python,cupsd_t,usr_t,file,create Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
This looks like you removed the python compiled code. Run python strings.py by hand should eliminate this AVC.
