Description Jan Hutař 2011-01-31 09:15:57 UTC
Description of problem:
During Fedora-13 installation I got this AVC SELinux message:

type=1400 audit(1296376418.843:4): avc:  denied  { mmap_zero } for  pid=710 comm="vbetool" scontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect

I know you can not do anything about issues during already released Fedora, but reporting this just to be sure you know about it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vbetool-1.2.2-1.fc12.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.7.19-10.fc13.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-10.fc13.noarch


How reproducible:
3 of 4 attempts


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora-13 and investigate SElinux AVC Failures


Actual results:
AVC is there


Expected results:
There should not be any AVCs

Jan, are you sure about the Product Version (12) ?

Obviously incorrect, fixing.

Comment 4 Peter Lemenkov 2011-04-08 09:42:07 UTC
This issue still exists in Fedora 15:

[   11.971342] type=1400 audit(1302255109.331:4): avc:  denied  { mmap_zero } for  pid=350 comm="vbetool" scontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:vbetool_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2011-05-30 11:36:20 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

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 prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 12:22:36 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
