Description Robert Martin 2011-05-24 21:47:48 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/eu-unstrip from 'mmap_zero' accesses on the memprotect Unknown.

*****  Plugin mmap_zero (91.4 confidence) suggests  **************************

If you do not think /usr/bin/eu-unstrip should need to mmap low memory in the kernel.
Then you may be under attack by a hacker, this is a very dangerous access.
Do
contact your security administrator and report this issue.

*****  Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that eu-unstrip should be allowed mmap_zero access on the Unknown memprotect by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep eu-unstrip /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Dominick Grift 2011-05-25 08:09:19 UTC
For this alone i would probably already create a new domain for eu-unstrip.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-25 13:07:24 UTC
This is definitely not some thing you want to allow.  We do not want to allow any app mmap_zero especially if it is being run by abrt.

Applications should not require this access.  Only apps I am aware that need it are wine apps.

Comment 3 Mark Wielaard 2011-05-25 13:17:19 UTC
How was eu-unstrip invoked? What arguments and what files were given?

Comment 4 Eric Paris 2011-05-25 13:28:59 UTC
Looks like a false alarm that eu-unstrip actually needs this to me.  Dup of 490753.  a2=3  a3=2  Which looks like PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE.

The kernel is dynamically choosing an address which is too low.  I keep meaning to get time to fix the vm from doing this...
