Description of problem: VirtualBox Beta/Release Candidate Feedback: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewforum.php?f=15 SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox from using the 'execstack' accesses 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 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox 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 'selinuxuser_execstack' boolean. You can read 'unconfined_selinux' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1 ***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that VirtualBox 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 VirtualBox /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Objects [ process ] Source VirtualBox Source Path /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.0_BETA1_88249_fedora18-1.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-74.1.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.10.10-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 29 19:05:45 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-09-09 10:43:31 PDT Last Seen 2013-09-09 10:43:31 PDT Local ID 76fa4169-d8f2-4afd-86d6-4ba88c5c3443 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1378748611.55:481): avc: denied { execstack } for pid=3968 comm="VirtualBox" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1378748611.55:481): arch=x86_64 syscall=mprotect success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fff4fe39000 a1=1000 a2=1000007 a3=0 items=0 ppid=3967 pid=3968 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1001 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1001 sgid=1001 fsgid=1001 ses=1 tty=(none) comm=VirtualBox exe=/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: VirtualBox,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execstack Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.10.10-200.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport

You can run # setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1 to make this working. There is a library which needs to clear the exestack flag.
