Small SELinux issue with kdm and grub

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings everyone! :-)

This is not a big issue, but it annoys me every time I logout, so... Anyway, 
setroubleshoot says the following:

###################################
Summary:

SELinux is preventing kdm (xdm_t) "execute" to ./grub (bootloader_exec_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by kdm. It is not expected that this access is
required by kdm and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to 
restore
the default system file context for ./grub,

restorecon -v './grub'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this 
access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not 
recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

I have found ./grub to be /sbin/grub and tried to restorecon it, but the 
context seems to be what it should be.

So, does anyone understand what is going on and why?

Best, :-)
