Description Lari Tanase 2011-09-25 07:38:52 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/colord from using the 'execmem' accesses on a process.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that colord should be allowed execmem access on processes labeled colord_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 colord /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-09-26 07:34:02 UTC
colord should not required this access.

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2011-09-26 08:02:29 UTC
If you change /etc/colord.conf to say UseSANE=false and reboot, does the execmem go away?

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 15:01:16 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
