it will incur the security risk, such as buffer overflow.
Stack memory is not executable on most OSes these days, and
will not change.
you can first use execstack to check whether your program
really need executable stack(you must have prelink firstly):
for example:
#execstack -q /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so.2/libart_lgpl_2.so.2
X libart_lgpl_2.so.2
and use execstack to remove the p_flags field of PT_GNU_STACK header
entry, and run program to see whether it really need stack to be
executable:
execstack -c libart_lgpl_2.so.2
if yes, you also can use boolean to allow stack to be executed:
setsebool [-P] allow_execstack 1
this will make all program stack executable, and there are still:
allow_java_execstack,allow_mplayer_execstack
use these booleans, you will not need write policy for executable
stack.

i wonder why is your libraries usr_t, not lib_t, if your libs are
lib_t, httpd_t can execute those files
