Description Mikhail 2013-05-18 06:48:04 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing chrome from 'mmap_zero' accesses on the memprotect .

*****  Plugin mmap_zero (53.1 confidence) suggests  **************************

If you do not think chrome should need to mmap low memory in the kernel.
Then you may be under attack by a hacker, this is a very dangerous access.
Do
contact your security administrator and report this issue.

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as configured by /proc/sys/kernel/mmap_min_addr.
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'mmap_low_allowed' boolean.
You can read 'unconfined_selinux' man page for more details.
Do
setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1

*****  Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that chrome should be allowed mmap_zero access on the  memprotect 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 chrome /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 2 Mikhail 2013-06-06 21:29:44 UTC
Why you think that this is bug of Google Chrome???
I see this alert only when open very much tabs ~100!!!
Seems PAE kernel have problem when application try allocate very many memory. Kernel begins  allocate low address and it is trigger this alert. 

Can you check this???

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2013-06-07 13:24:31 UTC
Well then it would be a kernel bug.

Comment 4 Eric Paris 2013-06-07 15:08:17 UTC
application is the wine-preloader
