Summary: SELinux is preventing thunderbird-bin "execmem" access on <Unknown>. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by thunderbird-bin. The current boolean settings do not allow this access. If you have not setup thunderbird-bin to require this access this may signal an intrusion attempt. If you do intend this access you need to change the booleans on this system to allow the access. Allowing Access: One of the following booleans is set incorrectly: allow_execstack, allow_execmem Fix Command: Choose one of the following to allow access: Allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla") # setsebool -P allow_execstack 1 Allow unconfined executables to map a memory region as both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable should be reported in bugzilla") # setsebool -P allow_execmem 1 Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Objects None [ process ] Source skype Source Path skype Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-27.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name catchall_boolean Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Sep 29 16:16:16 EDT 2009 i686 i686 Alert Count 17 First Seen Tue 29 Sep 2009 09:11:16 AM PDT Last Seen Mon 19 Oct 2009 06:49:33 AM PDT Local ID a8a2c53f-6f26-4326-90b8-8d96a2f5716f Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1255960173.536:1914): avc: denied { execmem } for pid=19864 comm="thunderbird-bin" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.6.32-27.fc12,catchall_boolean,skype,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execmem audit2allow suggests: #============= unconfined_t ============== allow unconfined_t self:process execmem;
