Description tigerrodgers 2024-08-06 19:32:19 UTC
Description of problem:
I tried to launch freetube on a fedora 40 sxfce laptop with the latest edition running amd64 and with a microsoft wireless mouse which sometimes causes isssues but I think it's just a minor problem with my 8gb ram. I am using the hp 17 laptop, and everything seems ok otherwise except for the fact that I get these useless alerts about programs not supposed to be allowed access to the pc. I will look forwad to solving this issue given there is no malicous software. Just a *helpful error report in case something is up.
* maybe not helpful
SELinux is preventing freetube from using the 'execheap' accesses on a process.

*****  Plugin allow_execheap (53.1 confidence) suggests   ********************

If you do not think freetube 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 unconfined executables to make their heap memory executable.  Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla
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 freetube 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 'freetube' --raw | audit2allow -M my-freetube
# semodule -X 300 -i my-freetube.pp
