Description of problem:
audit(1079007629.554:0): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=2098 exe=/usr/bin/kdm name=mem dev=hda2 ino=2683359 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:memory_device_t tclass=chr_file

Above is an AVC message reported by a Fedora SE Linux user.  It shows that kdm is accessing /dev/mem.  I believe that this is the old "use kernel memory as source of random numbers" thing, it should be replaced by use of /dev/random.  There is no reason why kdm (or any xdm type program) should directly access /dev/mem.

Allowing kdm to access /dev/mem allows it to entirely break the system's security if it is compromised.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just run kdm.  It's easy to observe on SE Linux, but when not running SE Linux strace should show it.
