Description Robert Muil 2013-08-06 07:06:28 UTC
Description of problem:
Installed munin and tried to access the webserver.
I think it would be convenient to have SELinux rules to allow munin by default, it is not an unusual package to install on a system. At least good instructions on allowing the process.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from using the 'execmem' accesses on a process.

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

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

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2013-08-07 18:25:41 UTC
Why does munin need execmem?

This means it can write and execute the same memory, which is considered somewhat dangerous.

Comment 2 d. johnson 2013-08-07 20:44:41 UTC
Reporter, Can you show which plugins you are running?

This is unusual for it to require execmem.  Are all your graphs working, or is there one plugin's graphs that are failing?

kernel:         3.11.3-201.fc19.x86_64

Comment 4 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2013-10-14 18:56:39 UTC
reproduced on x86_64

$ rpm -qa munin\*
munin-2.0.17-6.fc19.noarch
munin-common-2.0.17-6.fc19.noarch
munin-node-2.0.17-6.fc19.noarch

This seems to be triggered by munin-update every 5 min (so by the cron job).

Comment 5 d. johnson 2013-10-14 20:15:23 UTC
It would be very handy to know which plugin is causing this. Are you able to narrow down the list a bit?  Which plugins do you have enabled?

Comment 6 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2013-11-16 15:10:14 UTC
I've removed the nvidia driver and the error stopped,
So this might be a dup of rhbz#1018083
