Description of problem: The k3b application attempted to change the access protection of memory (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 web page explains how to remove this requirement. If k3b does not work and you need it to work, you can configure SELinux temporarily to allow this access until the application is fixed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : k3b Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.0.5 Release : 6.fc10 How reproducible: SELinux configured like this: System Default Enforcing Mode = Enforcing Current Enforcing Mode = Enforcing System Default Policy Type = Targeted ... and have installed k3b-extras-freeworld from RPMFusion. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable SELinux as it's shown above 2. Login into the Gnome desktop 3. Run k3b Actual results: k3b starts but didn't load plugins provided by k3b-extras-freeworld Expected results: Be able to use plugins provided by k3b-extras-freeworld. It means possibility to burn audio CDs from MP3 files for example. Additional info: In Fedora 9 was everything OK. Now I'm using this workaround: chcon -t unconfined_execmem_exec_t '/usr/bin/k3b'
To be clear... this problem *is* os *is not* present when k3b-extras-freeworld is not installed? If only problematic with k3b-extras-freeworld installed, then we can be reasonably sure the problem lies with one (or more) of lame, libmad, ffmpeg (my bet is on the latter).
I removed k3b-extras-freeworld and now no problem appears in SELinux TroubleShooter. So you are right, k3b-extras-freeworld causes the problem. Is it possible to track this problem here or should I report it in some RPMFusion bugtracker (if there any exists)?
bugzilla.rpmfusion.org please. thanks! (closing issue here)
