Description Heiko Adams 2010-12-29 14:49:23 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from using the 'execstack' accesses on a process.

*****  Plugin allow_execstack (53.1 confidence) suggests  ********************

If you do not think /usr/bin/python should need to map stack memory that is both writable and executable.
Then you need to report a bug. This is a potentially dangerous access.
Do
contact your security administrator and report this issue.

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable.  This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'allow_execstack' boolean.
Do
setsebool -P allow_execstack 1

*****  Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that python should be allowed execstack access on processes labeled unconfined_t by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep /usr/bin/python /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

I've just started playback of radiotray! WTF is going on there?? This message appears since today! 2 days ago everything works fine without SELinux alerts!

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-12-30 13:44:54 UTC
You have downloaded some libraries that are causing lots of apps to require execstack.
