SELinux security alert

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

 



Hello,
I installed F12 in 2 desktop no problem both working perfectly.
lately one has developed this security problem, it suggest to rename a
file as a possible cure, I do not understand how can a file change name
by it self. So before I make a mess of things I better ask for help.

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /bin/find "getattr" access
to /var/lib/misc/prelink.full.

Detailed Description:

[find has a permissive type (prelink_cron_system_t). This access was not
denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by find. /var/lib/misc/prelink.full may
be a
mislabeled. /var/lib/misc/prelink.full default SELinux type is
prelink_var_lib_t,
but its current type is cron_var_lib_t. Changing this file back to the
default
type, may fix your problem.

File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways.

  * Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent
    directory by default.
  * The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from
the
    parent directory by specifying a process running in context A which
creates
    a file in a directory labeled B will instead create the file with
label C.
    An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the
dhclient_t type
    and creating a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally
receive
    the etc_t type due to parental inheritance but instead the file is
labeled
    with the net_conf_t type because the SELinux policy specifies this.
  * Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as
chcon, or
    restorecon.

This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an
normally
confined application was run under the wrong domain.

However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file
should not
have been labeled with this type.

If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report against this
package.

Allowing Access:

You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the
restorecon command. restorecon '/var/lib/misc/prelink.full', if this
file is a
directory, you can recursively restore using restorecon -R
'/var/lib/misc/prelink.full'.

Fix Command:

/sbin/restorecon '/var/lib/misc/prelink.full'
