Summary: SELinux is preventing mzscheme from changing the access protection of memory on the heap. Detailed Description: The mzscheme application attempted to change the access protection of memory on the heap (e.g., allocated using malloc). This is a potential security problem. Applications should not be doing this. Applications are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission. The SELinux Memory Protection Tests (http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to remove this requirement. If mzscheme does not work and you need it to work, you can configure SELinux temporarily to allow this access until the application is fixed. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package. Allowing Access: If you want mzscheme to continue, you must turn on the allow_execheap boolean. Note: This boolean will affect all applications on the system. Fix Command: setsebool -P allow_execheap=1 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 None [ process ] Source lt-mzschemecgc Source Path /home/chappi/Desktop/plt-4.0.2.3/src/mzscheme/.lib s/lt-mzschemecgc Port Host laptop Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.3.1-74.fc9 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_execheap Host Name laptop Platform Linux laptop 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Fri Jun 27 16:14:35 EDT 2008 i686 i686 Alert Count 507 First Seen Sun 06 Jul 2008 01:17:18 AM CEST Last Seen Sun 06 Jul 2008 03:49:48 PM CEST Local ID 11b907df-6297-40be-80b8-8e98220eaebd Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=laptop type=AVC msg=audit(1215352188.20:550): avc: denied { execheap } for pid=23189 comm="mzscheme" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process host=laptop type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1215352188.20:550): arch=40000003 syscall=125 success=no exit=-13 a0=908c000 a1=2000 a2=7 a3=2000 items=0 ppid=23183 pid=23189 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=pts1 ses=1 comm="mzscheme" exe="/usr/local/bin/mzscheme" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null)
