SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner from using the 'execstack' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin allow_execstack (53.1 confidence) suggests ******************** If you do not think /usr/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner 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 gst-plugin-scanner 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/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1 023 Target Objects Unknown [ process ] Source gst-plugin-scan Source Path /usr/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages gstreamer-0.10.31-1.fc14 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-19.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:17:40 UTC 2010 i686 i686 Alert Count 3 First Seen Thu 30 Dec 2010 09:54:24 PM EST Last Seen Thu 30 Dec 2010 09:54:28 PM EST Local ID bc6f93a3-f4ff-4642-ae37-245ffcabb0e2 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1293764068.165:53833): avc: denied { execstack } for pid=7799 comm="gst-plugin-scan" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process gst-plugin-scan,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execstack type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1293764068.165:53833): arch=i386 syscall=mprotect success=no exit=EACCES a0=bfcea000 a1=1000 a2=1000007 a3=bfce99b0 items=0 ppid=7797 pid=7799 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=gst-plugin-scan exe=/usr/libexec/gstreamer-0.10/gst-plugin-scanner subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) gst-plugin-scan,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execstack #============= unconfined_t ============== #!!!!

I had the same problem - workaround I used was to create a local policy module to allow this access only for gst-plugin-scanner: # grep gst-plugin-scan /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp
Rafi, did you look for the bad libraries? Removing the execstack from from them might solve your problem. http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/38736.html
Hi Dan - thanks for the assist, I did not look for the bad libraries, but I will do now - the workaround I posted has done the trick though

I followed your instructions on your Blog and found 9 in mine. Well see how things go now... Don
