Well for starters the file is mislabeled:
[root@localhost Desktop]# matchpathcon /root/.xauthbDy84s
/root/.xauthbDy84s system_u:object_r:xauth_home_t:s0
If the file was properly labeled the access would be allowed:
[root@localhost Desktop]# sesearch --allow -s xauth_t -t xauth_home_t
Found 2 semantic av rules:
allow xauth_t xauth_home_t : file { ioctl read write create getattr setattr lock append unlink link rename open } ;
allow xauth_t file_type : filesystem getattr ;
The following policy would make source process type xauth_t create .xauth* files in /root with type xauth_home_t:
allow xauth_t xauth_home_t:file manage_file_perms;
userdom_admin_home_dir_filetrans(xauth_t, xauth_home_t, file)
/root/\.xauth.* -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:xauth_home_t,s0)
The Question is: why did this not happen?
