Google Earth is a proprietary application, not included in Fedora. Please file this bug with Google. This component is for google-perftools, which has nothing to do with Google Earth. |
Description of problem: Summary SELinux is preventing /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin from changing the access protection of memory on the heap. Detailed Description The /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin application attempted to change the access protection of memory on the heap (e.g., allocated using malloc). This is a potential security problem. Applications should not be doing this. Applications are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission. The http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html web page explains how to remove this requirement. If /opt/google-earth/googleearth- bin does not work and you need it to work, you can configure SELinux temporarily to allow this access until the application is fixed. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Allowing Access If you want /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin to continue, you must turn on the allow_execheap boolean. Note: This boolean will affect all applications on the system. The following command will allow this access: setsebool -P allow_execheap=1 Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 Target Objects None [ process ] Affected RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.0.8-53.fc8 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name plugins.allow_execheap Host Name localhost.localdomain Platform Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Nov 8 21:41:26 EST 2007 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Fri 16 Nov 2007 09:35:07 AM EST Last Seen Fri 16 Nov 2007 09:35:07 AM EST Local ID 8069dc01-9383-442e-b133-f7e26b674cf0 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { execheap } for comm=googleearth-bin egid=500 euid=500 exe=/opt /google-earth/googleearth-bin exit=-13 fsgid=500 fsuid=500 gid=500 items=0 pid=11825 scontext=system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 sgid=500 subj=system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 suid=500 tclass=process tcontext=system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=500 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
