SELinux Security Level Configuration
 
The SELinux policy being enforced is on FC6 release 2.6.23.8. The Memory Protection that SELinux is Enforcing has been modified to allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. The executable should be reported to Bugzilla. Allow unconfined executables to map a memory region as both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable should be reported to Bugzilla. These two security level configurations can not be modified by root and they are always checked. How do I report the executables to Bugzilla?

Since they are already at Fedora 8 the problem might already be fixed. Make sure you search bugzilla for your problem before reporting. They may or may not bother back porting a patch for this.

Thank you LinuxManMikeC.. You will have to pardon me for not knowing where the needle was in the haystack of bugs to sort. Yes you are correct, they did release Fedora 8 which should infact be the forums focus at this day and age. This box is only a bot for a little while longer, I am upgrading on Tuesday.. Until then I am not making things any better by posting another reply to this Thread.

Thanks again..
