Description "Linux" Dan White 2017-05-10 11:22:44 UTC

Description of problem:


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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install clamav-db-0.99.2-2.el6.x86_64 clamd-0.99.2-2.el6.x86_64 clamav-0.99.2-2.el6.x86_64
2. setsebool -P antivirus_can_scan_system 1
3. service clamd start

Actual results:
Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: LibClamAV Warning: RWX mapping denied: Can't allocate RWX Memory: Permission denied
LibClamAV Warning: Bytecode: disabling JIT because SELinux is preventing 'execmem' access.
Run  'setsebool -P clamd_use_jit on'.


Expected results:
None of the above

Additional info:
According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1295473
this should have been fixed

Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2017-05-10 22:55:57 UTC

There's a patch included which was an attempt to change that message in the source, except that it doesn't do anything.  The code it changes wrapped in "#if 0/#endif".

The actual message comes from the builtin bytecode startup sequence, which is basically a precompiled string.  Fixing this properly would involve building the bytecode compiler, recompiling buildin_bc_startup to bytecode, and patching that in.  Personally I think that's a rather excessive and fragile amount of work to get one string changed and would honestly just close this WONTFIX but maybe someone wants to have a go.

FYI the same happens in clamav-0.99.2-13.fc27.x86_64

Comment 4 Sergio Basto 2018-07-26 01:13:11 UTC

As reference in [0] we need run [1] to avoid [2] but as directory was already created I had to run also [3], conclusion "setsebool -P clamd_use_jit on" is correct but we also need "setsebool -P antivirus_can_scan_system on"

[1]
setsebool -P clamd_use_jit 1 
setsebool -P antivirus_can_scan_system 1 

[2]

Comment 5 Sergio Basto 2018-07-26 02:21:29 UTC

clamd_use_jit (in epel7) is an alias to antivirus_use_jit

but after [1] I don't see any SELinux refusal , so seems [2]  is enough . Maybe I should report upstream .

[1]
setsebool -P antivirus_use_jit 0

[2]
setsebool -P antivirus_can_scan_system 1

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2018-10-06 17:04:36 UTC

clamav-0.100.2-2.el7 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 7. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2018-b6e8b488d2

Comment 7 Sergio Basto 2018-10-07 03:21:20 UTC

Sorry my mistake when choosing the bugs fixed on clamav-0.100.2-2.el7 and clamav-0.100.2-2.el7 doesn't fix this bug .

Comment 9 Troy Dawson 2024-07-09 15:48:54 UTC

EPEL 7 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-06-30.  EPEL 7 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.
