Subject: [refpolicy] open permission and directory search
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:34:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4902071C.8090705@martinorr.name> (raw)

Since enabling the open permission, I get lots of denials like:
Oct 21 20:05:53 caligula kernel: type=1400 audit(1224615953.555:5): avc:
denied  { open } for  pid=3016 comm="hald-addon-acpi" name="var" dev=dm-0
ino=811201 scontext=system_u:system_r:hald_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=dir

So far as I can see, open permission is checked every time a directory is
walked through in a path, so I think it is necessary to add open to
search_dir_perms.
