Nice :) Could you please send a patch for this, or open a Pull Request
on https://github.com/SELinuxProject/refpolicy?

Which policy? On my test system based on a lightly-patched refpolicy, I have:

# sesearch -A -s udevadm_t -t var_run_t
allow udevadm_t var_run_t:dir { getattr open search };
allow udevadm_t var_run_t:lnk_file { getattr read };

For the record, even with dac_read_search, opening this file fails
with EACCES, because the kernel did not implement show() on this sysfs
file (cf. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/kernel/module.c?h=v5.2#n1204
and kernfs_fop_open() in fs/kernfs/file.c). More precisely, openat()
returns EACCES because kernfs_fop_open() returns this error code when
trying to open a write-only file for reading. Unfortunately this check
happens after the capability checks, which is why you got the denials
for dac_override and dac_read_search.

I do not have an opinion about allowing dac_read_search vs.
dontaudit-ing dac_read_search and dac_override.

Kind regards,
Nicolas
