SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/rhythmbox-metadata from using the 'execstack' accesses on a process.

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/rhythmbox-metadata from using the execstack access on a process.

Plugin: allow_execstack 
you do not think /usr/libexec/rhythmbox-metadata should need to map stack memory
that is both writable and executable.If you do not think /usr/libexec/rhythmbox-metadata should need to map stack memory that is both writable and executable.
you need to report a bug. This is a potentially dangerous access.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-12-28 13:16:06 UTC
Rhythmbox should not require execstack.

Comment 2 Craig Horrocks 2010-12-29 01:29:18 UTC
Hi Daniel

Thanks for your comment.  This SE Linux issue occurred after an update of the MPEG component.

I have not had any SELinux messages today. I had shutdown and re-started.

I hope this helps.

Craig

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-12-30 14:02:31 UTC
So this is probably related to a library.

You can either turn on the allow_execstack boolean or follow try to turn off the execstack flag in the library.
