AVC Denials x2 - No Network Connection Long-Post

[Frank Murphy-4]

Basically this is F9 on a USB-Stick, installed as "install to hd"
upgraded full to newkey status.
restorecon -v '/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases'  -:- No change to avc(s)

Summary:

SELinux is preventing consoletype (consoletype_t) "read" to
/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases (dhcpc_state_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by consoletype. It is not expected that this
access is required by consoletype and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore
the default system file context for /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases,

restorecon -v '/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Sorry for self-reply,
got around it by disabling selinx, then updated to newer policies.Now re
enabled without eth errors.

If you take a look at what these AVC's are saying, you should realize
they make no sense.  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.
