SELinux is preventing dbus-daemon(/bin/dbus-daemon) (system_dbusd_t) "read" to <Unknown> (inotifyfs_t).

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear all,

as of yesterday's updates, I get a bunch of
dbus-deamon denials, the cpu went to 99-100% during
the update and running top showed dbus-daemon to be up
there causing trouble.  When I rebooted the machine,
Selinux caught the act which is summarized below.

Thanks,

Antonio 

Summary:

SELinux is preventing dbus-daemon(/bin/dbus-daemon)
(system_dbusd_t) "read" to <Unknown>
(inotifyfs_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by
dbus-daemon(/bin/dbus-daemon). It is not
expected that this access is required by
dbus-daemon(/bin/dbus-daemon) 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 <Unknown>,

restorecon -v <Unknown>

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.
