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.

Rhythmbox should not require execstack.
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
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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 652297 ***
