Dear all,

I got a setroubleshoot popop on the laptop.  I am
attaching them here:  

Advice/suggestions/comments greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Summary:

SELinux is preventing nspluginscan from making the
program stack executable.

Detailed Description:

The nspluginscan application attempted to make its
stack executable. This is a
potential security problem. This should never ever be
necessary. Stack memory is
not executable on most OSes these days and this will
not change. Executable
stack memory is one of the biggest security problems.
An execstack error might
in fact be most likely raised by malicious code.
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 nspluginscan 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:

Sometimes a library is accidentally marked with the
execstack flag, if you find
a library with this flag you can clear it with the
execstack -c LIBRARY_PATH.
Then retry your application. If the app continues to
not work, you can turn the
flag back on with execstack -s LIBRARY_PATH.
Otherwise, if you trust
nspluginscan to run correctly, you can change the
context of the executable to
unconfined_execmem_exec_t. "chcon -t
unconfined_execmem_exec_t
'/usr/bin/nspluginscan'" You must also change the
default file context files on
the system in order to preserve them even on a full
relabel. "semanage fcontext
-a -t unconfined_execmem_exec_t
'/usr/bin/nspluginscan'"

Fix Command:

chcon -t unconfined_execmem_exec_t
'/usr/bin/nspluginscan'

Summary:

SELinux is preventing nm-system-setti
(NetworkManager_t) "read" to
./PolicyKit.reload (system_crond_var_lib_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by nm-system-setti. It
is not expected that this
access is required by nm-system-setti and this access
may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version
or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional
access.

Allowing Access:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.
You could try to restore
the default system file context for
./PolicyKit.reload,

restorecon -v './PolicyKit.reload'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic
way to allow this access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to
allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385)
Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
protection is not recommended.

Summary:

SELinux is preventing access to files with the label,
file_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are
being denied. file_t is
the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do
not have a label. This
indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an
SELinux box should ever be
labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk
drive to the system you can
relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you
should relabel the entire
files system.

Allowing Access:

You can execute the following command as root to
relabel your computer system:
"touch /.autorelabel; reboot"
