***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow cups execmem/execstack Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'cups_execmem' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P cups_execmem 1 I do not know if I want to allow cups execmem/execstack I just want to plug a new USB printer on my PC and have it work without scary SElinux alerts that I do not understand. Printing went fine without doing any selinux magic though, so I guess this unneeded alert can be considered a bug ; no? I may be a cups bug though instead of a selinux one I do not personally know enough to assign blames If need be, could this bug be redirected to its right owner instead of being closed? From my point of view, there really was a bug somewhere, just maybe not where the automatic tools proposed to assign it. It is not an SELinux issue. These access should not be needed. We can either report them or cover them up with dontaudit rules. Is cnij_parallel something in the base cups package? This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
