SELinux is preventing kdm (xdm_t) "execute" bootloader_exec_t

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

 



I noticed these denials (denying execute of grub by kdm) appearing 
about a month ago (Fedora 11) whenever I select the "Leave" option on 
the desktop right-click menu.  I did a search and found this:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505408 

Daniel Walsh (Mr. Selinux for Red Hat) says it will not be fixed 
because it's considered a security exposure to allow the login screen 
to "modify grub without logging in".

What's up with this?  What is kdm up to here?
