This looks like a leaked file descriptor. How did you get this to happen? Was it during an install? I think firefox is leaking a file descriptor when launcing userhelper/rpm? At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test Firefox 3, available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html or now shipping as the default in Fedora rawhide and provide feedback as to whether it still exists so we can file a ticket upstream to try to fix it in Firefox 3 before it is released.

This problem is still present in Rawhide/Firefox 3. Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Firefox leaks file desctriptors all over the place but a lot of the leaks are caused by plugins, so no likely to be fixed. |
Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Summary SELinux is preventing the /sbin/ldconfig from using potentially mislabeled files (/home/sturmvogel/.mozilla/firefox/59m0xpsd.default/.parentlock). Detailed Description SELinux has denied /sbin/ldconfig access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (/home/sturmvogel/.mozilla/firefox/59m0xpsd.default/.parentlock). This means that SELinux will not allow /sbin/ldconfig to use these files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to access. Allowing Access If you want /sbin/ldconfig to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon -v /home/sturmvogel/.mozilla/firefox/59m0xpsd.default/.parentlock. You might want to relabel the entire directory using restorecon -R -v /home/sturmvogel/.mozilla/firefox/59m0xpsd.default.
