Description of problem: The current policy identifies two libraries, libnnz and libclntsh, in the directory for Oracle's Instant Client, /usr/lib/oracle, as needing text relocations. There are however additional libraries in the directory. All of them seems to require text relocations when you use them. (Not surprisingly, I guess, they are probably built in the same broken way.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-2.4.6-279.el5_5.1 Some Oracle packages having the bug are: oracle-instantclient11.1-basic-11.1.0.7.0-1 oracle-instantclient11.1-devel-11.1.0.7.0-1 oracle-instantclient11.1-jdbc-11.1.0.7.0-1 oracle-instantclient11.1-sqlplus-11.1.0.7.0-1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.sqlplus Actual results: sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/oracle/11.1/client64/lib/libsqlplus.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied Expected results: Login prompt from sqlplus Sqlplus is a binary included in oracle-instantclient11.1-sqlplus. It uses some of the libraries not yet singled out in the policy as an example. Additional info: Until we can get Oracle to build these libraries properly (yes, I've told them, and no I haven't got any reaction), I suggest the policy assumes all .so files in /usr/lib/oracle/… need textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/oracle/.*/lib/lib.*\.so(\.[^/]*)* …textrel_shlib_t…
Seems ok to me.
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-283.el5.noarch
I have the same problem after upgrade to Fedora14 (it was ok in Fedora13): $ sqlplus sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied Should I report it separately with product "Fedora"? selinux-policy-3.9.7-10.fc14.noarch
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Since certain Oracle libraries require a text relocation, the SELinux context for libraries in the /usr/lib/oracle/ directory has been changed to "textrel_shlib_t".
