Fedora 24: SELinux is preventing vboxdrv.sh from write access on the directory /etc/udev/rules.d. -> should be fixed in releases higher than 5.1.4

[Billamay77]

Installing VirtualBox-5.1.x86_64 5.1.4_110228_fedora24-1 on Fedora 24 64 bit I get:

SELinux is preventing vboxdrv.sh from write access on the directory /etc/udev/rules.d.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that vboxdrv.sh should be allowed write access on the rules.d directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'vboxdrv.sh' --raw | audit2allow -M my-vboxdrvsh
# semodule -X 300 -i my-vboxdrvsh.pp

I see this problem as well. Surprisingly the udev rule is written anyway. But I guess we need to install an SELinux rule override.

I think that this should be fixed as of r110563 and am uploading test builds<1> now (check the revision before testing). Unfortunately we can't provide a test build for Fedora 24, so you will have to either try the RHEL7 one, or use the "Linux 64-bit" shell script installer.

Actually here is a Fedora 24 rpm containing the fix.

Fix is part of VBox 5.1.6.
