Bug 729733

Description of problem: This is a reappearance of bug 630217, with the same behaviour; Adobe reader does not run because it has components that (allegedly) require an executable stack (libsccore.so and libcrypto.so) and SELinux bars them from running. Supposedly this was fixed in selinux-policy 3.9.7-12.fc14 but it reappears the policy revision below.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.9.7-42.fc14

How reproducible:
By running Adobe Reader 9 on an selinux-enabled FC14 machine 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update SELinux policy to the version above
2. Enable SELinux (if not already enabled)
3. Install Adobe Reader 9
4. Run Reader 9.
  
Actual results:
SELinux prevents execution

Expected results:
Adobe Reader 9 starts.

Additional info:
SELinux is preventing /home/amulocal/linux/appl/Acrobat-9.4.2/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread from using the execstack access on a process.

*****  Plugin allow_execstack (53.1 confidence) suggests  ********************

If you believe that 
None
should not require execstack
Then you should clear the execstack flag and see if /home/amulocal/linux/appl/Acrobat-9.4.2/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread works correctly.
Report this as a bug on None.
You can clear the exestack flag by executing:
Do
execstack -c None

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable.  This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'allow_execstack' boolean.
Do
setsebool -P allow_execstack 1

*****  Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that acroread should be allowed execstack access on processes labeled unconfined_t 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 acroread /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
