Description Ray Pete 2010-05-14 15:10:46 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/Xorg from loading /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so which
requires text relocation.

Detailed Description:

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

Allowing Access:

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

Fix Command:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so'

#============= xserver_t ==============
#!!!! This avc can be allowed using the boolean 'allow_execmod'

allow xserver_t lib_t:file execmod;

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-14 15:17:29 UTC
Bug report covers the solution, either change the context or run

#setsebool -P allow_execmod 1


To remove the check.
