Description of problem:


Summary:

SELinux is preventing gnome-sound-pro from loading
/usr/lib/i686/libavutil.so.49.10.0 which requires text relocation.

Detailed Description:

The gnome-sound-pro application attempted to load
/usr/lib/i686/libavutil.so.49.10.0 which requires text relocation. This is a
potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission.
Libraries 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. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow
/usr/lib/i686/libavutil.so.49.10.0 to use relocation as a workaround, until the
library is fixed. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Allowing Access:

If you trust /usr/lib/i686/libavutil.so.49.10.0 to run correctly, you can change
the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
'/usr/lib/i686/libavutil.so.49.10.0'" You must also change the default file
context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel.
"semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/i686/libavutil.so.49.10.0'"

Fix Command:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/i686/libavutil.so.49.10.0'

How reproducible:

Only tried it once, but by the SELinux error, it should happen every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to System
2.Preferences
3.Hardware
4.Sound
5.Up pops the error.

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2009-02-23 10:35:02 UTC
It's the GStreamer plugin from libcanberra loading the GStreamer ffmpeg plugin. We don't ship the ffmpeg plugin, so closing.

Note that you should see similar errors when launching Totem, or sound-juicer, if the GStreamer plugin cache wasn't created ("rm ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry*").
