  • How to exclude Cylance on SELinux

    Posted on

    Hello.

    We have Cylance protect anti-virus software version 2.0.1530.706 running on a RHEL 7 server with SE Linux enforced.

    The following entries are being written to /var/log/messages:

    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/mdadm from getattr access on the file /dev/mqueue/com.cylance.cef.message_broker

    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/mdadm from getattr access on the file /dev/mqueue/com.cylance.protect

    Has anyone else running Cylance protect on RHEL 7 SE Linux encountered this, and if so, how did you resolve?

    I'm guessing there's a way to exclude Cylance from being blocked by SE Linux but I'm unsure how to do it.

    Add an entry to /etc/selinux/targeted/booleans perhaps?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Tom
