Description David 2009-10-19 14:21:12 UTC
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
