On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2, Zoom persistently generates SELinux warnings
I have been using the most recent version of Zoom, specifically version 5.14.5.2430, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2. However, upon launching the software, I encounter a persistent issue with SELinux Warnings. Surprisingly, this problem persists on AlmaLinux 9.2 as well, which is also a RHEL-based system. It's important to note that this issue does not manifest on Fedora 37 Workstation.
SELinux is preventing /app/extra/zoom/zoom.real from execmod access on the file /memfd:JIT>
***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ******************
If you want to allow selinuxuser to execmod
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'selinuxuser_execmod' boolean.
Do
setsebool -P selinuxuser_execmod 1
***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests **************************
If you believe that zoom.real should be allowed execmod access on the memfd:JITCode:QtQml >
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 'zoom.real' --raw | audit2allow -M my-zoomreal
# semodule -X 300 -i my-zoomreal.pp
No matter whether I install Zoom via Flatpak or the RPM package available on the official Zoom website, I consistently encounter the same warning.
After reaching out to Red Hat regarding the SELinux warnings issue on Zoom, they informed me that it is not their responsibility and suggested that I should contact Zoom for further assistance.
