pam_yubico triggering AVC

[Jeremy Young]

I thought it'd be prudent to ask the list's opinion before opening a bug report. 
I'm not experiencing any visible issues, but can repeatedly generate this AVC, one
that only seems to be generated since I've enabled pam_yubico on my laptop.  I'm
fine adding a dontaudit rule to my local policy but should I send a bug report for this? 
If so, is this an SELinux report or one to Yubico?


SELinux is preventing gdm-session-wor from using the wake_alarm capability.

If you believe that gdm-session-wor should have the wake_alarm capability by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'gdm-session-wor' --raw | audit2allow -M my-gdmsessionwor
# semodule -X 300 -i my-gdmsessionwor.pp

Looks like the kernel checks CAP_WAKE_ALARM prematurely in
timerfd_create() and timerfd_settime(); it is only truly required for
CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM.  So we'll likely see
lots of false denials there.  Should flip the order of the tests in the
kernel.  dontaudit should be fine in the interim.
