Summary:

SELinux is preventing gwibber from changing a writable memory segment
executable.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]

The gwibber 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
(http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to
remove this requirement. If gwibber 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 trust gwibber to run correctly, you can change the context of the
executable to execmem_exec_t. "chcon -t execmem_exec_t '/usr/bin/python'". 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 execmem_exec_t
'/usr/bin/python'"

Fix Command:

chcon -t execmem_exec_t '/usr/bin/python'
