Description of problem: SELinux is preventing electron from using the 'execheap' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin allow_execheap (53.1 confidence) suggests ******************** If you do not think electron 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. Do setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1 ***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that electron 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: # ausearch -c 'electron' --raw | audit2allow -M my-electron # semodule -X 300 -i my-electron.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0- s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0- s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects Unknown [ process ] Source electron Source Path electron Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-40.24-1.fc40.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-40.24-1.fc40.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 6.10.1-200.fc40.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jul 26 18:52:14 UTC 2024 x86_64 Alert Count 94 First Seen 2024-07-27 15:21:11 IST Last Seen 2024-07-27 20:13:42 IST Local ID 80a16220-b8be-4a87-802a-af3442a93267 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1722091422.142:200): avc: denied { execheap } for pid=3294 comm="electron" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process permissive=0 Hash: electron,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execheap Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-40.24-1.fc40.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.17.15 type: libreport hashmarkername: setroubleshoot package: selinux-policy-targeted-40.24-1.fc40.noarch reason: SELinux is preventing electron from using the 'execheap' accesses on a process. kernel: 6.10.1-200.fc40.x86_64 component: selinux-policy component: selinux-policy

I am not an selinux maintainer, but a Bugzilla search for "execheap" found Bug 2254434, which is currently filed against "kernel". It might be helpful to post a brief description of what you were doing when the AVC occurred. And I am not familiar with "electron", which does not appear to be a Fedora app.
CLosing as dup, if your use case is different, please reopen and follow instructions in #comment3. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2254434 ***
