Package: gawk
Version: 1:3.1.5.dfsg-4
Severity: normal
awk calls TCGETS (tcgetattr) on regular files, which causes all kind of
extra audit errors. For example:
avc: denied { ioctl } for pid=2173 comm="awk" name="master.cf"
dev=hda1 ino=33064 scontext=system_u:system_r:initrc_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:postfix_etc_t tclass=file
triggered by the postfix init script.
This is completely unnecessary; and I'd prefer awk not doing the ioctl,
instead of adding (potentially dozens of) "dontaudit" rules to the
SELinux policy... Maybe you could stat() first to see if the file
actually is a device node?

Hi,
As explained in #387329 the problem lies with libc. Furthermore I
cannot reproduce this problem on a squeeze installation. Therefore I
am closing this bug.
