If its in permissive, you shouldn't get any failure that results in EPERM from SE Linux. But on second look, this AVC has a success=yes, so maybe not the smoking gun. If there was a corresponding AVC with success=no, then that would be notable.

AFAICT, there are 2 places where an access decision is made, audit_netlink_ok in kernel/audit.c. And the other place is selinux_nlmsg_lookup in security/selinux/nlmsgtab.c. I think you'd want to patch your kernel to printk its access decision results in both of those functions. That should tell us something about what's going on.

Interesting factoid here for you Steve:

I just compiled auditctl from scratch, and the newly compiled binary got the "Error sending rule list request" thing, even though I had been using the /sbin/auditctl -l functionality for a long while prior.

Does this mean anything to you? or at least help narrow the search?
