Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /home/mikhail/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam from using the 'execheap' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin allow_execheap (53.1 confidence) suggests ********************* If you do not think /home/mikhail/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam should need to map heap 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 heap memory executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. 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 'selinuxuser_execheap' boolean. You can read 'unconfined_selinux' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1 ***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that steam should be allowed execheap 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 steam /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 [ process ] Source steam Source Path /home/mikhail/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-48.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.4-301.fc19.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 00:41:36 UTC 2013 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-06-08 17:51:18 YEKT Last Seen 2013-06-08 17:51:18 YEKT Local ID 5975650d-a174-4251-a621-c4db99b34ab1 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1370692278.49:598): avc: denied { execheap } for pid=7708 comm="steam" 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(1370692278.49:598): arch=i386 syscall=mprotect success=no exit=EACCES a0=cbb0000 a1=c000 a2=7 a3=bfa29ecc items=0 ppid=7623 pid=7708 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=0 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=1 tty=pts4 comm=steam exe=/home/mikhail/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: steam,unconfined_t,unconfined_t,process,execheap Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.4-301.fc19.i686.PAE type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 894788
