SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/vlc from using the 'execstack' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin allow_execstack (53.1 confidence) suggests ******************** If you believe that None should not require execstack Then you should clear the execstack flag and see if /usr/bin/vlc works correctly. Report this as a bug on None. You can clear the exestack flag by executing: Do execstack -c None ***** 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 vlc 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 vlc /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 vlc Source Path /usr/bin/vlc Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages vlc-core-1.1.9-1.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-20.fc16 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.39-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed May 4 16:02:15 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 9 First Seen Sat 07 May 2011 01:33:53 PM EDT Last Seen Sat 07 May 2011 01:35:03 PM EDT Local ID 1a8e0913-7363-419e-9017-77f6629efcf3 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1304789703.987:104): avc: denied { execstack } for pid=1825 comm="vlc" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1304789703.987:104): arch=i386 syscall=mprotect success=no exit=EACCES a0=bfafc000 a1=1000 a2=1000007 a3=b717ca24 items=0 ppid=1337 pid=1825 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=vlc exe=/usr/bin/vlc subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: vlc,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execstack audit2allow #============= unconfined_t ============== #!!!!

You could look for libraries that are marked as requiring execstack # find /lib -exec execstack -q {} \; -print 2> /dev/null | grep ^X # find /usr/lib -exec execstack -q {} \; -print 2> /dev/null | grep ^X or # find /lib64 -exec execstack -q {} \; -print 2> /dev/null | grep ^X # find /usr/lib64 -exec execstack -q {} \; -print 2> /dev/null | grep ^X Or you can turn this check off setsebool -P allow_execstack 1
