Zusammenfassung:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/mod_install from loading /usr/lib/libtfmessbsp.so
which requires text relocation.

Detaillierte Beschreibung:

The mod_install application attempted to load /usr/lib/libtfmessbsp.so 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/libtfmessbsp.so to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is
fixed. Please file a bug report.

Zugriff erlauben:

If you trust /usr/lib/libtfmessbsp.so to run correctly, you can change the file
context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
'/usr/lib/libtfmessbsp.so'" 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/libtfmessbsp.so'"

Fixer Befehl:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/libtfmessbsp.so'

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2009-11-17 13:10:54 UTC
You should report this as a bug to libbiometrics that they are building their libraries incorrectly.

http://people.redhat.com/~drepper/selinux-mem.html

explains the problem.

If you execute the command explained in the alert it should fix the problem.

I will make this the default label in the next release.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-47.fc12.noarch
