At the very least, I consider this a bug and have reported it as such:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508865
I suspect this is the result of trying to use SELinux to protect everything
and the mandatory access control idea that everything is disallowed except
that which is explicitly permitted.
But, I just do not understand what and why CD/DVD images and devices are being
protected. Furthermore, when virtualization changes a file's context
(including /dev/sr0), could this effect other valid usage of these
files/devices? If there is no effect for other applications, then just what is
protected?
