:
:*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests  *************************
:
:If you want to fix the label. 
:/usr/bin/groovyConsole default label should be bin_t.
:Then you can run restorecon.
:Do
:# /sbin/restorecon -v /usr/bin/groovyConsole
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that gnome-shell should be allowed execute access on the groovyConsole file 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 gnome-shell /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-14 11:40:40 UTC
We have the same bug for vlc. 

Do you know what you were doing when this happened?

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-14 11:57:49 UTC
Were you using yumex?

Comment 3 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2011-10-14 12:01:38 UTC
Hi Miroslav,

No. I do not have yumex installed. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. In fact, I haven't even used vlc since I installed it. 

Thanks,
Ankur

Comment 4 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-14 12:16:21 UTC
Any idea what does gnome-shell do?

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-14 13:14:20 UTC
Since this is an access check, I think gnome-shell is just running through all executables and doing an access(FILE,X_OK)

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-14 13:22:52 UTC
Added dontaudit access_check
