From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080416 Fedora/2.0.0.14-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.14 Description of problem: I just did a fresh install from the original KDE live CD. I updated everything to the latest version. I can play ogg/vorbis audio just fine. I wanted to play some .mp3's so I installed amarok-extras-nonfree. I get an SELinux alert: Summary: SELinux is preventing amarokapp from changing the access protection of memory on the heap. Detailed Description: The amarokapp application attempted to change the access protection of memory on the heap (e.g., allocated using malloc). This is a potential security problem. Applications should not be doing this. Applications are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission. The SELinux Memory Protection Tests (http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to remove this requirement. If amarokapp does not work and you need it to work, you can configure SELinux temporarily to allow this access until the application is fixed. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package. Allowing Access: If you want amarokapp to continue, you must turn on the allow_execheap boolean. Note: This boolean will affect all applications on the system. The following command will allow this access: setsebool -P allow_execheap=1 Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 Target Objects None [ process ] Source amarokapp Source Path /usr/bin/amarokapp Port <Unknown> Host philipashmore.com Source RPM Packages amarok-1.4.8-5.fc8 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.0.8-95.fc8 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_execheap Host Name philipashmore.com Platform Linux philipashmore.com 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 #1 SMP Sat Mar 29 09:54:46 EDT 2008 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Sat 26 Apr 2008 04:19:17 AM IST Last Seen Sat 26 Apr 2008 04:19:17 AM IST Local ID 9948727c-57a5-46ad-94b3-0b002c0c955f Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=philipashmore.com type=AVC msg=audit(1209179957.731:29): avc: denied { execheap } for pid=3391 comm="amarokapp" scontext=system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 tclass=process host=philipashmore.com type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1209179957.731:29): arch=40000003 syscall=125 success=no exit=-13 a0=8078000 a1=84d000 a2=5 a3=bfac0340 items=0 ppid=3389 pid=3391 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) comm="amarokapp" exe="/usr/bin/amarokapp" subj=system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 key=(null) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): amarok-1.4.8-5.fc8 How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a fresh install and update to the list of packages I will attach. 2. Listen to an ogg/vorbis music file. 3. Try to listen to Internet radio & mp3 files - rummage around for the right RPM on the net. 4. Install amarok-extras-nonfree. 5. Restart amarok Actual Results: I got the above AVC denial. After hunting around for bug reports and not finding any, I started amarok and ogg/vorbis, mp3 and internet radio all worked. Expected Results: I shouldn't have gotten that AVC denial.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I'd venture this is/was a ffmpeg/selinux issue, is it still reproducible with latest selinux-policy updates?
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
I no longer have Fedora installed. Please feel free to close this bug.
