The AVC's are reporting that consoletype and application for looking at the current terminal wants to read a file created by dhclient? Not likely. When I see a avc like this that makes no sense, my mind instantly thinks leaked file descriptors. When you see the second avc saying ifconfig_t also wants to read the same file, I have a pretty good idea this is a leak. SELinux is just reporting that the dhclient program passed an open file descriptor that confined domains that it is execing do not have access to. SELinux is closing the file descriptors and consoletype and ifconfig are working fine, but SELinux complains about the descriptors. The dhclient program should get a bugzilla telling them to close the desctiptors on exec. fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC); This would eliminate a potential security hole and get SELinux to be quiet. -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
