hi,

i am in f8 rawhide with selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.2-3.fc8.noarch

there are some avc denied about vmware and eclipse:

1 vmware config

after i update to selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.2-3.fc8.noarch,
i find my vmware must be re-configed every time i run it.

but when i run vmware-config.pl, some avc denied messages occured:

avc: denied { read, write } for comm="vmnet-bridge" cwd="/usr/bin" dev=00:10
egid=0 euid=0 exe="/usr/bin/vmnet-bridge" exit=-13 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0

subj=system_u:system_r:vmware_host_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=chr_file
tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0

......

other avc errors are similar, it seemed that /dev/vmnet* are mislabeled,
they were all labeled device_t, not vmware_device_t.

IIRC, i installed and configured vmware 6 well, before the merge of
targeted and strict policy, i.e. <selinux-policy-targeted-3.0

i had compared the vmware* between these two versions policy, i had
not find any changes which will result to these errors.

i also find the /dev in my system is tmpfs, so the file on this fs
should be labeled using fs_use_trans.

I want to add type_transition rules to verify my guess, but i don't know
the type of /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl, which is "bin_t" now in my system


is there something i missed?

I have VMWare 6.0 running in Rawhide.

I believe it is with 'stock' labeling, but I made the following change
to /usr/lib/vmware/net-services.sh to correct the labeling.  I'm not
sure if there is a better way (e.g., in udev):

[root@localhost vmware]# diff -u net-services.sh.old net-services.sh

}

In addition to the above, there seems to be an issue with vmware's use
of the 'ldd' command (e.g., see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246762).

Setting 'allow_execmem' or 'allow_execstack' via 'setsebool' seems to
work around this issue for me.
