Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mesa-libGL-7.6-0.7.fc12 selinux-policy-3.6.26-2.fc12 Additional info: Summary: SELinux is preventing plasma-desktop from loading /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 which requires text relocation. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to permissive mode.] The plasma-desktop application attempted to load /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 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/libGL.so.1.2 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/libGL.so.1.2 to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2'" 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/libGL.so.1.2'" Fix Command: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2' Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Context system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 Target Objects /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 [ file ] Source ksmserver Source Path /usr/bin/ksmserver Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages kdebase-workspace-4.3.0-1.fc12 Target RPM Packages mesa-libGL-7.6-0.7.fc12 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.26-2.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name allow_execmod Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.31-0.112.rc4.git3.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Thu Jul 30 15:43:29 EDT 2009 i686 athlon Alert Count 2 First Seen Wed 05 Aug 2009 10:35:30 PM EDT Last Seen Wed 05 Aug 2009 10:35:39 PM EDT Local ID 4984aa7c-3b4d-4c78-9702-02f17e4bf9b8 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1249526139.583:10386): avc: denied { execmod } for pid=1961 comm="plasma-desktop" path="/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2" dev=dm-0 ino=47216 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1249526139.583:10386): arch=40000003 syscall=125 success=yes exit=0 a0=68e2000 a1=6f000 a2=5 a3=bfba7730 items=0 ppid=1805 pid=1961 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="plasma-desktop" exe="/usr/bin/plasma-desktop" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)
This makes the KDE spin entirely unusable unless you manually boot with selinux=0 or equivalent.
A fixed mesa has been built and tagged for the Alpha.
