Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /home/mikhail/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam from using the 'execheap' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin allow_execheap (53.1 confidence) suggests ******************** If you do not think /home/mikhail/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam should need to map heap memory that is both writable and executable. Then you need to report a bug. This is a potentially dangerous access. Do contact your security administrator and report this issue. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow selinuxuser to execheap Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'selinuxuser_execheap' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1 ***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that steam should be allowed execheap 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 steam /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 steam Source Path /home/mikhail/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-83.fc20.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.11.1-300.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Sep 14 15:01:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-09-28 14:15:03 YEKT Last Seen 2013-09-28 14:15:03 YEKT Local ID 9c9711ae-d4b1-4692-ae87-d421c9aeab0d Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1380356103.925:676): avc: denied { execheap } for pid=29502 comm="steam" 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(1380356103.925:676): arch=i386 syscall=capget success=no exit=EACCES a0=b106000 a1=c000 a2=7 a3=ffc7b15c items=0 ppid=5340 pid=29502 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 ses=1 tty=pts3 comm=steam exe=/home/mikhail/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: steam,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execheap Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.7 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.11.1-300.fc20.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 894788

Basically I don't like allowing this access, but probably game apps are a little shaky in their design.
