Bug 624498

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/simple-scan from loading
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-smfp.so.1.0.1 which requires text relocation.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

The simple-scan application attempted to load
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-smfp.so.1.0.1 which requires text relocation. This is a
potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission.
Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission. The
SELinux Memory Protection Tests
(http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to
remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-smfp.so.1.0.1 to use relocation as a workaround, until
the library is fixed. Please file a bug report.

Allowing Access:

If you trust /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-smfp.so.1.0.1 to run correctly, you can
change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
'/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-smfp.so.1.0.1'" You must also change the default file
context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel.
"semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t
'/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-smfp.so.1.0.1'"

Fix Command:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-smfp.so.1.0.1'
