Description of problem: This error occurs when mpd starts with systemctl SELinux is preventing mpd from using the 'execstack' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that mpd should be allowed execstack access on processes labeled mpd_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: # ausearch -c 'mpd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-mpd # semodule -X 300 -i my-mpd.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:mpd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:mpd_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ process ] Source mpd Source Path mpd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-158.14.fc23.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.4.7-300.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 13 02:52:52 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2016-04-20 06:46:44 EDT Last Seen 2016-04-24 19:17:37 EDT Local ID dcc1ce6b-310b-4e19-91a9-31ef40d7e275 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1461539857.928:242): avc: denied { execstack } for pid=1014 comm="mpd" scontext=system_u:system_r:mpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:mpd_t:s0 tclass=process permissive=0 Hash: mpd,mpd_t,mpd_t,process,execstack Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-158.14.fc23.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.14.8-300.fc27.x86_64 type: libreport
Hi, mpd is trying to make main stack executable, which is from security POV dangerous operation. This is bug in mpd code. Closing as WONTFIX.
