Description Joe Zeff 2013-09-05 02:06:27 UTC
Description of problem:
This suddenly showed up "out of the blue."  I have created and installed a local policy because in this case, it seems reasonable that boinc should have access to processes of this nature.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/boinc_client from using the 'execstack' accesses on a process.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

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

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2013-09-05 13:20:30 UTC
Lukas,
we should change the boinc policy to handle execmem/execstack better and a new boolean for it. Basically BOINC needs this access but we should allow it using booolean for a user which run BOINC without these perms.
