As the alert tells you, this is not something we want to allow. You should report it as a bug to skype. If skype continues to work file and just generates this ugly AVC, I would suggest you add a dontaudit rule and would be abel to continue to use the product. Otherwise if you want to you can turn the boolean on, and lower your SELinux protections. |
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/skype from 'mmap_zero' accesses on the memprotect Unknown. ***** Plugin mmap_zero (53.1 confidence) suggests ************************** If you do not think /usr/bin/skype 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_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as configured by /proc/sys/kernel/mmap_min_addr. Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'mmap_low_allowed' boolean. Do setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1 ***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that skype 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 skype /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0- s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0- s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects Unknown [ memprotect ] Source skype Source Path /usr/bin/skype Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages skype-2.2.0.35-fc10 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-42.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Sat May 21 17:39:42 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 82 First Seen Sat 13 Aug 2011 04:46:13 AM WET Last Seen Sat 13 Aug 2011 04:46:53 AM WET Local ID 0f121363-851f-4afb-a9a7-56d4bc449340 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1313210813.907:27161): avc: denied { mmap_zero } for pid=2565 comm="skype" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1313210813.907:27161): arch=i386 syscall=mmap2 per=400000 success=no exit=EACCES a0=0 a1=100000 a2=0 a3=4022 items=0 ppid=1 pid=2565 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=skype exe=/usr/bin/skype subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: skype,unconfined_execmem_t,unconfined_execmem_t,memprotect,mmap_zero audit2allow #============= unconfined_execmem_t ============== #!!!!
