SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/audacious2 from using the 'execstack' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin allow_execstack (53.1 confidence) suggests ******************** If you do not think /usr/bin/audacious2 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 audacious2 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/audacious2 /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 audacious Source Path /usr/bin/audacious2 Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages audacious-2.4.0-3.fc14.1 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-19.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive 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 1 First Seen Sun 02 Jan 2011 01:16:05 AM MST Last Seen Sun 02 Jan 2011 01:16:05 AM MST Local ID 9d07e97b-0ecd-4d93-b4c3-3c0303dc005e Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1293956165.824:186): avc: denied { execstack } for pid=3343 comm="audacious" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process audacious,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execstack type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1293956165.824:186): arch=i386 syscall=mprotect success=yes exit=0 a0=bfe69000 a1=1000 a2=1000007 a3=bfe6860c items=0 ppid=3036 pid=3343 auid=401 uid=401 gid=10 euid=401 suid=401 fsuid=401 egid=10 sgid=10 fsgid=10 tty=pts3 ses=25 comm=audacious exe=/usr/bin/audacious2 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) audacious,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execstack #============= unconfined_t ============== #!!!!

No idea why audacious2 caused this alert to show up. The program was used on a machine in question in the last few days to play assorted audio files (which were _not_ coming from random web sites) and the above was registered once. The report was automatically generated by sealert.
Probably related to bad libraries on your machine. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 652297 ***
