Description Ervin 2015-07-26 22:27:39 UTC
Description of problem:
I installed the linphone web plugin in Firefox. However selinux is preventing the plugin creating access on the directory. linphone-web, not allowing me to sign in with my linphne credentials. 
SELinux is preventing plugin-containe from 'create' accesses on the directory .linphone-web.

*****  Plugin mozplugger (99.1 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to use the plugin package
Then you must turn off SELinux controls on the Firefox plugins.
Do
# setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0

*****  Plugin catchall (1.81 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that plugin-containe should be allowed create access on the .linphone-web directory 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:
# grep plugin-containe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

I don't want to disable Selinux Control on the Firefox Plugins,it can cause security problems. 
Instead Selinux Policy should be updated. I don't think the Linphone web plugin is a threat to the system. 
However it must be checked it just by plainly allowing it, it can cause other security issues.

This file is generated by using audit2allow iteratively while encountering AVC denials, not hand writted. More AVCs might be encountered during use.

Hello Diego, can modifying that file introduce security vulnerabilities?

This could work with filename transitions rules for ~/.linphone-web.

Could you play around

cat myplugin.te
policy_module(myplugin.te,1.0)

require{
 type mozilla_home_t; 
}

userdom_user_home_dir_filetrans(mozilla_plugin_t, mozilla_home_t, dir, ".linphone-web")

and run

# make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile myplugin.pp
# semodule -i myplugin.pp


You will need to remove ~/.linphone-web to be recreated with a correct labeling.

Thank you.

I am having other problems with Web Linphone for now. 
The bug must be directed to Firefox. 
So I can't test it for now.
