Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 from using the execmem access on a process. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow virt to use execmem Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'virt_use_execmem' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P virt_use_execmem 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that qemu-system-x86_64 should be allowed execmem access on processes labeled svirt_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 qemu-system-x86 /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c332,c949 Target Context system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c332,c949 Target Objects Unknown [ process ] Source qemu-system-x86 Source Path /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 Port <Unknown> Host x230t.local Source RPM Packages qemu-system-x86-2.1.0-0.1.rc0.fc21.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-63.fc21.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name x230t.local Platform Linux x230t.local 3.16.0-0.rc4.git1.1.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 8 14:03:50 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 41 First Seen 2014-07-12 13:37:59 IST Last Seen 2014-07-12 21:26:19 IST Local ID 6b12148f-9556-4fdf-a5f0-5653ea3523a5 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1405180579.960:1006): avc: denied { execmem } for pid=23575 comm="qemu-system-x86" scontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c332,c949 tcontext=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c332,c949 tclass=process permissive=1 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1405180579.960:1006): arch=x86_64 syscall=mmap success=yes exit=139685657427968 a0=0 a1=801000 a2=7 a3=20022 items=0 ppid=1 pid=23575 auid=4294967295 uid=107 gid=107 euid=107 suid=107 fsuid=107 egid=107 sgid=107 fsgid=107 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=qemu-system-x86 exe=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 subj=system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c332,c949 key=(null) Hash: qemu-system-x86,svirt_t,svirt_t,process,execmem
