Current behaviour

Every time I open Joplin, I'm getting these SELinux warnings: SELinux is preventing @joplinapp-desk from using the execheap access on a process.

* Plugin allow_execheap (53.1 confidence) suggests ****

If you do not think @joplinapp-desk 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.

Do setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1

* Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests **

If you believe that @joplinapp-desk 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. Do allow this access for now by executing:

ausearch -c '@joplinapp-desk' --raw | audit2allow -M my-joplinappdesk

semodule -X 300 -i my-joplinappdesk.pp

The issue hasn't happened recently, but was not something that happened every time. So, I don't know if the issue is solved or not. Maybe, we could set the bug as fixed and reopen it if the issue happens again.

I haven't had any instances of this bug for a while. I disabled all the plugins to try to pinpoint if it was one of them causing the problem. I have re-enabled all of them one by one and still the issue has not returned, yet. Can we wait a few more days to see if the bug resurfaces before closing it?
