Allow unconfined domains to use syslog capability |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
When an unconfined_t root user runs dmesg, the kernel complains with |
| 11 |
this message in its logs (when SELinux is in enforcing mode): |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
dmesg (16289): Attempt to access syslog with CAP_SYS_ADMIN but no |
| 14 |
CAP_SYSLOG (deprecated). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
audit.log contains following AVC: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
avc: denied { syslog } for pid=16289 comm="dmesg" capability=34 |
| 19 |
scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t |
| 20 |
tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t tclass=capability2 |
