Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
SELinux is not allowing xmms to use execstack, This indicates a coding problem in the application. http://people.redhat.com/~drepper/selinux-mem.html Your application most likely does not need this privs and could be coded against it. This is a potential security problem, as allowing exec stacks could lead to buffer overflow attacks.
Like for most multi-media apps, this likely only means some assembler code does not have the note section for the stack permission. In that case a fix is simple.
