Description of problem: I started dota2 application... SELinux is preventing /home/partzy/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota_linux from using the 'execheap' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin allow_execheap (53.1 confidence) suggests ********************* If you do not think /home/partzy/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota_linux 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 selinuxuser to execheap Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'selinuxuser_execheap' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1 ***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that dota_linux 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.

The alert told you what to do, although this is considered a dangerous access. I would complain to Steam that they should fix their code. ***** Plugin allow_execheap (53.1 confidence) suggests ********************* If you do not think /home/partzy/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota_linux should need to map heap memory that is both writable and executable.
