SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/mdadm from 'read' accesses on the chr_file fw0.

Description of problem: It seems to happen when logwatch runs. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/mdadm from 'read' accesses on the chr_file fw0. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that mdadm should be allowed read access on the fw0 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 mdadm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:mdadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:usb_device_t:s0 Target Objects fw0 [ chr_file ] Source mdadm Source Path /usr/sbin/mdadm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages mdadm-3.2.6-19.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-63.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Jul 6 13:41:07 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 5 First Seen 2013-07-15 18:23:06 EDT Last Seen 2013-07-21 10:28:04 EDT Local ID 7742cd7a-87ad-4dd6-b687-a78b9d2441c9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1374416884.629:1202): avc: denied { read } for pid=23152 comm="mdadm" name="fw0" dev="devtmpfs" ino=1744 scontext=system_u:system_r:mdadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:usb_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1374416884.629:1202): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=98afc0 a1=4000 a2=a a3=0 items=0 ppid=23151 pid=23152 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=69 tty=(none) comm=mdadm exe=/usr/sbin/mdadm subj=system_u:system_r:mdadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: mdadm,mdadm_t,usb_device_t,chr_file,read Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
