Summary: SELinux is preventing vlc from loading /usr/lib/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0 which requires text relocation. Detailed Description: The vlc application attempted to load /usr/lib/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0 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/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0 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/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0 to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0'" 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/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0'" Fix Command: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0' Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 Target Objects /usr/lib/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0 [ file ] Source vlc Source Path /usr/bin/vlc Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages vlc-core-0.9.6-1.fc10 Target RPM Packages ffmpeg-libs-0.4.9-0.52.20080908.fc10 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.5.13-18.fc10 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_execmod Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 12:19:59 EST 2008 i686 i686 Alert Count 2 First Seen Sun 30 Nov 2008 12:20:45 AM EST Last Seen Tue 02 Dec 2008 04:51:23 PM EST Local ID c9aa4161-cc1f-4e17-9175-5c8b497c4d44 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1228254683.995:151): avc: denied { execmod } for pid=6109 comm="vlc" path="/usr/lib/sse2/libpostproc.so.51.2.0" dev=sda2 ino=1313555 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1228254683.995:151): arch=40000003 syscall=125 success=no exit=-13 a0=114000 a1=9000 a2=5 a3=bfdbd120 items=0 ppid=1 pid=6109 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=17 comm="vlc" exe="/usr/bin/vlc" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.5.13-18.fc10,allow_execmod,vlc,unconfined_execmem_t,lib_t,file,execmod audit2allow suggests: #============= unconfined_execmem_t ============== allow unconfined_execmem_t lib_t:file execmod;
