Description Jeff Needle 2006-01-27 14:43:05 UTC

Description of problem:

ekiga is a relatively new package in Fedora.  It won't start without setting
allow_execstack.

$ ekiga
ekiga: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot enable
executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied

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

ekiga-1.99.0-1, SDL-1.2.9-3, selinux-policy-targeted-2.2.5-1

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ekiga
  
Actual results:

$ ekiga
ekiga: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot enable
executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied

Expected results:

$ ekiga
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
The application 'ekiga' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

;-)

Additional info:

Works after setsebool allow_execstack 1

Why does ekiga need allow_execstack.  This is probably a bad thing.

Seems to be fixed in todays rawhide.
