Currently on Fedora 41 KDE and was updating my packages using the terminal. While the updates were installing I suddenly got a bunch of SELinux alerts for the following:
The source process: pool-/usr/libex
Attempted this access: write
On this tcp_socket: port None
The source process: pool-/usr/libex
Attempted this access: fork
On this process:
process: pool-/usr/libex
Attempted this access: use
On this fd: fd
the source process: pool-/usr/libex
Attempted this access: search
On this directory: icons
When clicking details on the last one it has this:
SELinux is preventing pool-/usr/libex from search access on the directory /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/fedora/x86_64/icons.
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************
The dnf update didn’t work after this, but I rebooted and updated through Discover which seems to have worked. I’m not knowledgeable at all about SELinux is this something I need to be concerned about security wise or is it a bug with SELinux?
