Description Pete Graner 2006-08-23 22:51:04 UTC
Description of problem:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible: Everytime

Steps to Reproduce: See description below.
  
Actual results: Watch the spam - you will get a pop up for every identical error

Expected results: Should only get one window for the same AVC

Additional info: I set up on my webserver Ampache (http://www.ampache.org), and
set it off to index my mp3 collection, over the loopback device (ie
http://localhost/script.php), and it started throwing AVCs, so I clicked on the
Penguin with a badge and got spammed with: "SELinux is preventing the http
daemon from connecting to the itself or the relay ports". 

It opened a new window for every mp3 in my collection, so in short I ended up
with ~75,000 open windows and it crashed X.

This is a known issue and a fix has already been implemented, but we're still
testing before we push out a new rpm. There should be a new rpm available with
the fix in a day or so.

Comment 2 John Dennis 2006-08-25 18:32:05 UTC
The latest versions of setroubleshoot no longer use the popup dialog, we've
moved to using only the "browser". In addition, one of the causes was something
we refer to a "signature inflation" where every AVC gets tagged as a new problem
instead of being accumulated, that also has been fixed. So I'm closing this bug
as the whole issue has become moot.
